Melaka, negeri bersejarah,
Tempat tumpah darah kita,
Dijunjung dengan sepenuh jiwa,
Untuk maju dan jaya!
Rakyat Melaka sudah bersatu padu,
Berikrar taat setia,
Jujur berkhidmat setiap masa,
Melaka, maju jaya!

Malacca, o historic land,
The place where our blood has been shed,
We'll uphold with heart and hand,
Your glory by our toil!
We the people come as one,
Sworn solemn to be true,
To serve you the ages through,
Malacca, onwards come!
