THANK YOU FARMER // TERIMA KASIH PETANI

Lyrics:

Kini koelihat padi telah koening
Menghias sawah tanah airkoe
Tempat berbakti para petani
Memboeat djasa meng’abdi Iboe
Wahai petani benteng negeri
Pengoekoeh pasoekan pelindoeng kami
Dimana tempat terdapat djasamoe
Tegakkan tiang Bendera Merdeka

Wahai Petani
Akoe lagokan akan djasamoe
Akoe bajangkan setiap waktoe
Petani. Iboekoe, Petani Bapaoe: Terima kasih

Petani Iboeko, Petani Bapakoe:
Dikala terik melipoeti sawah
Dikala hoedjan melanggar ladang
Toean bekerja ta’ kenal lelah
Dari pagi sampaikan petang

Now I see the paddy has turned yellow
Decorating the rice fields of my homeland
A place for farmers to dedicate
Working as devotion to our Mothers

Our farmers, fortress of my nations
Our sturdy protector and strong troops
Above this land of your dedication
Raise the Freedom flag

Oh, Farmers
I sing a song of your dedication
I imagine it everywhere
My farmer Mother, my farmer Father: Thank you

My farmer Mother, my farmer Father:
When the sun shone so bright on our field
When the rains strike our fields
You never felt weary
From morning to evening
