Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aku bahagia
Hidup sejahtera di khatulistiwa
Alam berseri seri bunga beraneka
Mahligai rama rama bertajuk cahya jingga
Surya di cakrawala

Slalu berseri slalu berseri
Alam indah permai di khatulistiwa
Persada senyum tawa hawa sejuk nyaman
Wajah pagi rupawan
Burung berkicau ria
Bermandi embun surga

Syukur ke hadirat yang maha pencipta
Atas anugerah nya tanah nirmala

Bersuka cita bersuka cita
Insan di persada yang aman sentosa
Damai makmur merdeka di setiap masa
Bersyukurlah kita semua

Aku bahagia
Hidup sejahtera di indonesia
Alam berseri seri bunga beraneka
Mahligai rama rama bertajuk cahya jingga
Surya di cakrawala

Slalu berseri slalu berseri
Alam indah permai di indonesia
Negeri tali jiwa hawa sejuk nyaman
Wajah pagi rupawan burung berkicau ria
Bermandi embun surga

Syukur ke hadirat yang maha kuasa
Atas anugerah nya tanah bijana
Bersuka cita bersuka cita
Insan di persada yang bebak luseka
Ukum damai sentoca di setiap masa
Bersyukurlah kita semua

Bersyukurlah kita semua
Bersyukurlah kita semua
Bersyukurlah kita semua
Bersyukurlah kita semua
Bersyukurlah kita semua

Aku bahagia aku bahagia
Hidup sejahtera di khatulistiwa
Aku bahagia aku bahagia
Hidup sejahtera di indonesia

Aku bahagia aku bahagia
Hidup sejahtera di khatulistiwa
