Tears don't get me wrong about what they mean
Tears are springs

Tears have tremendous transforming power
Those tears turned anger into compassion for the people without conditions

The tears turned the words into great silence
Tears are the most powerful pearls of love

The tears were the speech of a victory
Tears are the last word of honesty

Tears are springs Water that flows the love of the motherland
The tears were more powerful than a demonstration

Tears are the code for democratic integrity
Tears are the mother of tolerance

The tears flowed silently
Those tears from a heart lonely with ambition

My tears for Jakarta
My tears have become the ink of love to write the history of the nation

Tears are the well-being of the nation
Tears are wells for the future of the nation
