Sing it...

***

Aku anak Indonesia
anak yang merdeka
satu nusaku
satu bangsaku
satu bahasaku
Indonesia
Indonesia
aku bangga menjadi
anak Indonesia...

***

We stop singing that song when we left school...
when we think that we are free
free of tedious homework
free of teacher and parent guidance
free to do anything

but looky here my friend
look at the truth behind our freedom
we are living in the most corrupt country in the world
we are facing a social conflict, in a verge of racial revolution
hell yeah... I even write in someone else's language.

now why in the world I am saying this?

all because I want to sing the song to my lovely daughters
teach them about the real freedom
let them know honesty
let them know compassion
and let them grow in peace

To parents and teachers...
we salute you all for teaching your children
songs...
about our country
about our nation
about our people

live peace and live free...
