the pledge
we the offspring
mother, the nusantara
mystical passion
labour of contraction
caused brilliance
the melayu
fragrance milk of kindness
bosom intimate fraternity
crisped nostalgic glory
moral and dignity
esprit of purity
mind containing
placental ties of the melayu
accompany their wanderings
dispersing fertile seedlings
beautiful jungles the yards
herbs and spices
rhythming waves
originating melayu existence
ocean of struggle
red is the blood
pledge after birth
accept this greeting homage
from hands of legacy
melayu goodwill
bondage nostalgic embrace
love symphony serenades
lamp of the epoch
we, the nusantara offspring
untying knots of the pledge
promises mother swore the universe
history is an obligation, nah!
take the bow shaking trusted hands
tightly, never let to rest
till dissolves
into infinity
