    Independence Day in Indonesia with a Song and YouTube Video

    Monday, August 17th, 2009

    August 17th is Independence Day in Indonesia. Lin Fdln sent me this song called “Hallo Hallo Bandung” that’s sung in Indonesia for the holiday. Here’s what Lin wrote to me, followed by the lyrics to the song, an English translation and a YouTube video…

    This is a song from the revolutionary period, when Indonesia fought for freedom and sovereignty. (Independence was declared on August 17, 1945 – before that the Netherlands had ruled Indonesia.)

    Bandung is the capital city of Priangan Province/State (now West Java). It was the second largest city in Indonesia at that time.

    All Indonesian kids know and can sing this song, since it is taught in every elementary school. Especially in August (the Indonesian anniversary), this is one of the many independence theme songs we love to hear and sing.

    Hallo Hallo Bandung
    By Ismail Marzuki

    Hallo hallo Bandung
    Ibukota Periangan
    Hallo hallo Bandung
    Kota kenang-kenangan
    Sudah lama beta
    Tidak berjumpa dengan kau
    Sekarang telah menjadi lautan api
    Mari bung rebut kembali

    English Translation:

    Hallo Hallo Bandung
    (Indonesian)

    Hallo hallo Bandung
    Capital city of Priangan
    Hallo hallo Bandung
    City of many memories
    It’s been so long
    Since I met you
    Now burning like a sea of fire
    Let’s go take Bandung back.

    Sincerely,

    Lin Fdln

    Many thanks to Lin for sharing this song with us! Happy Independence Day!
