Lyrics

Malay

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Merdeka, Merdeka
Tetaplah merdeka
Ia pasti menjadi sejarah

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia
Hari bahagia
Sambut dengan jiwa yang merdeka

Mari kita seluruh warganegara
Ramai-ramai menyambut hari merdeka
Merdeka!
Tiga satu bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia, negaraku merdeka

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Merdeka, Merdeka
Tetaplah merdeka
Ia pasti menjadi sejarah

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia
Hari bahagia
Sambut dengan jiwa yang merdeka

Mari kita seluruh warganegara
Ramai-ramai menyambut hari merdeka
Merdeka!
Tiga satu bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia, negaraku merdeka

Mari kita seluruh warganegara
Ramai-ramai menyambut hari merdeka
Merdeka
Tiga satu bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia negaraku merdeka

Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka......

Merdeka!
