It was born
thirty-five years ago
from the pains
of the most progressive class
a child of an era
that will gave birth to an era
braving tempests
lulled not by the breeze
it penetrated into the people's heart
deeper than the sea of Banda
adorning life
more beautiful than the chempaka blossom
It lives from life
withstanding terror and provocation
yesterday, today, tomorrow
it is Anteaeus, son of Poseidon
invincible as long as it stays faithful to the earth
child of an era that will give birth to an era
now it has come of age
~D.N. Aidit
