Song of Sabdatama

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our rhyme is mantra

Flows down like lava

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our culture is weapon

Yeah, this Song of Sabdatama

Merapi ya iku, Keraton ya iku, Segara

ya iku, Pancer ing Tugu

Mijil tuwuh saka kono

dumunungku

Yo Ngayogyokarto Hadiningrat

Negeriku

Nagari gemah ripah

kang merdika

Kaya kang kaserat

ing Sabdatama

Merapi ngelingake marang

ing gusti

Segara ngelingake kudu

ngidak bumi

Ngono kuwi jiwa Jawi

Manunggaling kawula Gusti

mBalung sungsum pada diugemi

Minangka tekad dadi sesanti

Sadumuk bathuk sanyari bumi, Ditohi

pecahing dada

luntaking ludira nganti pati

Negeri merdika bakal tak belani

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our rhyme is mantra

Flows down like lava

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our culture is weapon

Yeah, this Song of Sabdatama

Merapi horeg, laut kidul gedeg

Angin ribut, udan bledek

Tanda bumi reresik

nandang gawe

Marang donya

lan manungsane

Marang sedulur sikep

kudu ngajeni lan ngopeni

Bumi pertiwi

saudara kami

Yang harus dijaga dan dihormati

Menerima sekaligus memberi

Budaya adalah senjata

Memanusiakan manusia

Bangun jiwanya, Bangun raganya

Sentausa dalam puspa warna

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our rhyme is mantra

Flows down like lava

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our culture is weapon

Yeah, this Song of Sabdatama

In our land where we stand

Never afraid coz we all friends

We may vary but hand in hand

Appreciate and understand

Why democracy

if occupied by oligarchy

Nggo opo demokrasi

nek mung ngapusi

Why religion

if only to kill humanity

Nggo apa agama nek mung mateni

Hey oxymoron, you don’t

need to teach me

Rasah nggurui merga ora migunani

What Jogja want is harmony

in diversity

Urip iku amrih

nemu harmoni

We don’t care of what you say

Your ridiculous words will go away

Coz in this land where we stand

We’ll fight to the death until the end

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our rhyme is mantra

Flows down like lava

We are from Jogja

The heart of Java

Our culture is weapon

Yeah, this Song of Sabdatama
