We all know.

We are required within their specified time,

to surrender the weapons we have seized from the hands of the Japanese army.

They have demanded that we come to them with our hands raised.

They have demanded that we all come to them carrying a white flag as a sign that we surrender to them.

Brothers and sisters

In the past battles, we have all shown that the Indonesian people in Surabaya.

Youth from Maluku,

Youth from Sulawesi,

Youth from Bali,

Youth from Kalimantan,

Youth from all over Sumatra, Aceh youth, Tapanuli youth, and all Indonesian youth in Surabaya.

In their respective forces.

With the people's forces formed in the villages.

They have shown an invincible defense.

They have shown a strength that has trapped them everywhere. Only because of their cunning tactics, brothers and sisters.

By bringing the President and other leaders to Surabaya.

Then we are obliged to stop the battle.

But at that time, they strengthened themselves.

And now, this is the situation.

Brothers and sisters

We, the Indonesian nation in Surabaya, will accept the challenge of the British army, and if the leadership of the British army in Surabaya. Wants to hear the answer of the Indonesian people.

Wants to hear the answer of all Indonesian youth in Surabaya.

Listen to this, British army.

This is our answer.

This is the answer of the people of Surabaya.

This is the answer of Indonesian youth to all of you.

Hey, British army!

You want us to bring a white flag to surrender to you.

You command us to come to you with our hands raised.

You command us to bring the weapons we have seized from the Japanese army to you.

Despite knowing that you will once again threaten us and attack us with your power, but this is our answer:

As long as the Indonesian bulls still have red blood.

That can make a piece of red and white cloth.

Then as long as that, we will not surrender to anyone.

Brothers and sisters of Surabaya, be prepared for dire circumstances!

But I warn once again.

Do not start shooting.

Only when we are shot.

Then we will counterattack to show that we are truly people who want independence.

And for us, brothers and sisters.

It is better to be destroyed rather than not be independent.

Our motto remains: independence or death!

And we believe, brothers and sisters.

Because Allah is always on the side of the righteous.
