"I See Indonesian"
If I stand on the beach Ngliyep
I heard the Indian Ocean surging
slammed on Ngliyep's beach
I heard songs, Indonesian poems.
If I see
rice fields are yellow-green
I do not see anymore
rice stalks that turn yellow green
I see Indonesia.
If I see the mountains
Mount Merapi, Mount Semeru, Mount Merbabu
Mount Tangkuban Perahu, Mount Kelebet
and other mountains
I see Indonesian.
If I listen
The melodious songs from Batak
no longer the Batak song I listened to
I listen to Indonesia.
If I listen to Pangkur Palaran
no longer Pangkur Palaran that I listen to
I heard Indonesia.
If I listen to Olesio's song from Maluku
no longer do I listen to Olesio's song
I heard Indonesia.
If I listen to the turtledove bird
singing on a tree in the breeze
no longer do I listen to the birds Knee
I listen to Indonesian.
If I breathe this air
I no longer breathe the air
I breathe Indonesian.
If I see children's faces
in the villages with shining eyes
"Pak Merdeka, Pak Merdeka, Pak Merdeka!"
I no longer see the human eye
I see Indonesian.
