Lyrics

Malay original Chinese version English translation

Inilah barisan kita,
Yang ikhlas berjuang.
Siap sedia berkorban,
Untuk ibu pertiwi!

Sebelum kita berjaya,
Jangan harap kami pulang!
Inilah sumpah pendekar kita,
Menuju medan bakti!

Andai kata kami gugur semua,
Taburlah bunga di atas pusara.
Kami mohon doa,
Malaysia berjaya!

Semboyan telah berbunyi,
Menuju medan bakti!

請看吧!我保國衛家
在激烈戰鬥裡
血染犧牲我不遲疑
親愛地祖國大地!

誓保護我們的家園
勿盼望我們的歸來
這就是我們宣誓的使命
為勝利勇敢前進!

倘若黎明前我們捐驅沙場
請將鮮花拋撒在我墓上
我們祈求上蒼
馬來西亞更輝煌!

號角聲燃起我勇氣
為勝利勇敢前進!

Here we are standing united,
We are willing to fight,
Brave and ready to sacrifice,
For our nation's liberty!

And before victory is called,
We shall never be returned home!
This is our true oath, as true warriors,
March on to the battlefield!

If we all fall while in the line of battle,
We ask you to place flowers on our graves,
And to God we all pray,
Malaysia will prevail!

And the war signal is calling,
March on to the battlefield!
