Sarawak Bahagia

"Sarawak Bahagia" (Happy Sarawak) was the state anthem of Sarawak from 1973 until 1988. It was the first anthem in the state to be rendered in Malay language.[2]

Original [Malay] English Translation
Sarawak negeriku berdaulat merdeka

Rakyatnya hidup teguh bersatu padu

Semua berazam terus berkhidmat pada negara

Sentiasa maju pertiwi

Bahagialah tanah airku

Sarawak negeri yang ku cinta ku puja

Untukmu ku rela korban jiwa raga

Abadikan Sarawak ya Tuhan dalam Malaysia

Sarawak, my land, sovereign and free

Where the people live united

All of them are dedicated to serve the country

Always progress my Motherland

Be happy my homeland

Sarawak, the land I love and adore

To you will I give my life

May God keep Sarawak in Malaysia

Fair Land Sarawak

"Fair Land Sarawak" was the anthem of Sarawak as a British Crown Colony from 1946 until 1963 and the anthem of Sarawak as a state of Malaysia from 1963 until 1973. The lyrics of the anthem were provided by F.C. Ogden, while the tune of the anthem provided by George R.K. Freeth, is identical to that of the anthem of the Raj of Sarawak – "Gone Forth Beyond the Sea".

Lyrics
Fair Land Sarawak

We will never cease to honour thee

And with our loyal sons defend your liberty

From you high forest hills, Down to the open sea

May freedom ever reign Men live in unity

Proudly our Flag flies high above our country strong and free

Long may our peoples live in peace and harmony

Gone Forth Beyond the Sea

"Gone Forth Beyond the Sea" was the National Anthem of the Raj of Sarawak. It was composed in 1872 by Margaret of Sarawak, in honour of Charles of Sarawak, and was in use until the Raj was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1946 and become its crown colony.[3]

Lyrics
Gone forth beyond the sea
To clime... as yet unknown,
Where calls are made for thee,
To bear the sword and crown.

Advance, God speed, to save,
Creatures in jungles deep,
God's hand shall help the brave,
Tho'man's may rest in sleep,
Let Justice signalise,
And ev'..ry voice resound,
Who by the Eastern crown'd.

Tho'past and gone in light,
Thy name is still renownd,
And as a chief in might,
Thy deeds are ever crown'd,
Let echoing vales redound,
By mountain, crag and nook,
Sing loud with joyous sound,
God Bless the Rajah Brooke.
