Selalu terharu kalau baca tulisan orang Indonesia yang tengah rindu dengan negerinya. Tulisanmu selalu menarik, membuat bangga akan negeri sendiri. salam kenal dan semangat terus menulis yaa…:)
oh ma kasih. Selalu rindu akan Indonesia. Salam kenal juga.
Always love Tanah Airku. Btw anak sekarang masih belajar dan tau lagu wajib gtu ga ya?
Ehm gak tau, kayaknya klo sekolah negeri masih deh tapi banyak yg sekolah internasional atau bhs inggris jadi susah kali?
Lot of patriotic Indonesian songs. I really love “Maju Tak Gentar”. “Maju Terus, Pantang Mundur” is a mellow song, but really beautiful
Maju tak gentar makes me want to march whereever I walk. 🙂
i don’t know if this is a patriotic song or not, but my fave is “Tanah Airku” by Ibu Soed. i’ve always liked it from when i was in elementary school. little did i know that i would be living abroad as an adult, and now the song fits my feeling about our beloved country even more. 🙂
happy independence day!
Aw..totally that is one of my favourite song to be mellow about Indonesia. 🙂
My favorite song about Indonesia is Ismail Marzuki’s Rayuan Pulau Kelapa. Everytime I hear it I want to cry. It touches me deep. It makes me proud being Indonesian.
The one that makes me cry is Tanah Airku. This is a good reminder of Rayuan pulau kelapa though. * got to listen on youtube
