Ode to the Palm Islands



O’ my sweet homeland Indonesia
A land of beauty, o’ my greatest love
So pure and rich, my home worth dying for
The flawless diamond I adore

O’ my sweet homeland I am longing for
Though I’m far away you are always close
I miss the sand and sparkling golden grains
I shall come home again

Palm trees on the beach, waving in the breeze
Like a princess sing, to valiant prince
Palm isles I adore, always in my soul
O’ my sweet homeland Indonesia
