Engkaulah harapan hati
Penghibur kala sunyi
Pergilah berbakti
Membela pertiwi
Perwira...
Janganlah kekanda bimbang
Untuk pergi berjuang

Dengarlah lagu kucipta
Gubahan mesra nan manja
Sebagai ganti diri
Bersama kau berbakti
Semoga tabah hati
Kekanda di medan perang
Adinda di medan seni
Sama-sama berjuang
Sama-sama berbakti
Untuk ibu pertiwi
Majulah kekanda maju jangan undur
Dinda mohon doa restu
Rela sehidup semati bersamamu
