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
Culture is weapon
Yeah, this song of Sabdatama

Merapi ya iku, Keraton ya iku
Segara ya iku, pancering Tugu
Mijil tuwuh seka kono dumunungku
Yo, Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat neg'riku

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 dha diugemi
Minangka tekad dadi sesanti

Sadumuk bathuk, sanyari bumi
Ditohi pecahing dhadha
Luntaking ludira nganti pati
Neg'ri 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
Culture is weapon
Yeah, this song of Sabdatama

Merapi horeg, laut lindhu gedheg
Angin ribut, udan bledhek
Tandha 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
Sentosa 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
Culture is weapon
Yeah, this song of Sabdatama

In our land, where we stand
Never afraid 'cause we're all friends
We may vary, but hand in hand
Fine appreciate and understand

Why democracy if occupied by oligarchy?
Nggo apa demokrasi nek mung arep dha ngapusi?
Why religion if only try to kill humanity?
Nggo apa agama nek mung arep dha mateni

Hey, Oxymoron, you don't need to teach me
Ra usah nggurui, merga ora migunani (what, what)
What Jogja wants is harmony in diversity
Urip iku amrih piye isaning harmoni

Yo, we don't care of what you say
Your ridiculous words will go away
'Cause in this land where we stand
We'll fight to the death until the end, hey

We are from Jogja
The heart of Java
Our rhyme is mantra
Flows down like lava

We are from Jogja
The heart of Java
Culture is weapon
Yeah, this song of Sabdatama
