Perajurit Tanah Air

Perajurit Tanah Air or Inilah Barisan Kita is a patriotic Malaysian national song. Composed by Saiful Bahari. The song is remarkable for its impartial, egalitarian lyrics, which extols the soldiers' love and duty to the motherland without explicit reference to any particular race or religion.

Perajurit Tanah Air found renewed popularity among Malaysians in the wake of the 2013 Lahad Datu standoff.

Lyrics

MalayLiteral 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!

These are our lines and ranks,
Who fight sincerely,
Prepared to sacrifice our lives,
For the motherland!

Before we achieve victory,
Do not hope for our return!
This is our oath as warriors,
Marching to the battlefield!

Suppose that we were all to fall,
Then scatter flowers on our graves,
We ask for prayers,
For Malaysia to succeed!

The bugle has sounded,
Marching to the battlefield!
