Rayuan Pulau Kelapa (Solace on Coconut Island), also known as Indonesië, Ik hou van jou (Indonesia, I Love You) in the Netherlands, is an Indonesian song written by Ismail Marzuki (1914-1958), who wrote a number of popular tunes in the country's early post-independence period. The lyrics praise Indonesia's natural beauty, such as its floral-related double entendres, islands and beaches, and profess undying love for the country.[1]

The song is a nostalgic favourite among Indonesian expatriates, particularly those who left the country for the Netherlands in the 1940s and 1950s, after independence.[2]

The 2016 mashup "Satu Indonesiaku" consists of this song, "Zamrud Khatulistiwa", "Kolam Susu" and "Pemuda".

Lyrics

Indonesian[3] English (unofficial)[4]

Tanah airku Indonesia
Negeri elok amat kucinta
Tanah tumpah darahku yang mulia
Yang kupuja sepanjang masa
Tanah airku aman dan makmur
Pulau kelapa yang amat subur
Pulau melati, pujaan bangsa
Sejak dulu kala

Melambai-lambai nyiur di pantai
Berbisik-bisik raja kelana
Memuja pulau yang indah permai
Tanah airku, Indonesia!

My homeland Indonesia
The beautiful country that I loved most
The glorious blood-spilled land of mine
That I will adore forever
My safe, and prosperous homeland
The fertile coconut island
The jasmine island coveted by nations
Ever since a long time ago

Waving softly the coconut trees on the coast
Whispering softly the calming breeze
Praising the island that is so beautiful and lovely
My homeland, Indonesia!
