Ballad about President Sukarno, "Untuk Paduka Yang Mulia Sukarno," second version, with lyrics

Sutedjo, the composer, was paid 1.200.000 Indonesian Rupiah for it, but before he could spend it, new money was introduced; the old money could be exchanged for the new Rp. 1.200 only, so his fee shrank a thousand times. It is a praise song for Sukarno, the President at the time and the first proclamator of independence (1945). This record's cover has the stamp "Retail Price 100 New Rupiahs" on it for comparison.

The lyrics for this video are available in both English and Indonesian.
