[vadisworld - my way, my world] 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
