The National Anthem

The national anthem, together with the national flag and the state crest, reflect Singapore’s identity as a nation. The anthem echoes the enduring hope and spirit of Singaporeans to make progress. It rallies us together to succeed.

Its Origin

The national anthem was written in the wake of nationalism during 1956-57. Its composer, the late Encik Zubir Said, had written it on the basis of two words, "Majulah Singapura" which means "Onward Singapore". It was launched on 3 Dec 1959 together with the national flag and the state crest, at the installation of the new head of state, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. Upon Singapore’s independence in 1965, "Majulah Singapura" was adopted as the republic’s national anthem.

Its Meaning and Lyrics

The national anthem was originally written in Malay. The lyrics are provided as follows. You can also find its musical score and lyric translations into the three other official languages below.

MAJULAH SINGAPURA

Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia Berjaya Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura Majulah Singapura

ONWARD SINGAPORE (English Translation)

Come, fellow Singaporeans
Let us progress towards happiness together
May our noble aspiration bring Singapore success
Come, let us unite In a new spirit
Let our voices soar as one
