Rayuan Pulau Kelapa (Solace on Coconut Island) is an Indonesian song written by Ismail Marzuki (1914-1958), who wrote a number of popular tunes in the country's early post-independence period. The lyrics praise Indonesia's natural beauty, such as its flora, islands and beaches, and profess undying love for the country.[1]

In 1956, the song recorded in Chinese under the name "Ye Dao Gu Niang" (traditional Chinese: 椰島姑娘; simplified Chinese: 椰岛姑娘; lit. 'Coconut Island Girl') by Macanese singer Poon Sow-keng.

In 1958, the song recorded in Finnish under the name "Indonesia" by Estonian opera singer Georg Ots.[5]

Lyrics

Indonesian

Tanah airku Indonesia
Negeri elok amat kucinta
Tanah tumpah darahku yang mulia
Yang kupuja sepanjang masa
Tanah airku aman dan makmur
Pulau kelapa yang amat subur
Pulau melati, pujaan bangsa
Sejak dulu kala

Melambai-lambai nyiur di pantai
Berbisik-bisik raja kelana
Memuja pulau yang indah permai
Tanah airku, Indonesia!
