Mamula Moon--The Origin of Negaraku???

Is this true???
Our National Anthem isn't 100% of its own origin?
Some kind of "CopyCat" work??

It's amazing how much this song which was recorded 10 years before our country got independance sounds so much like Negaraku, our national anthem. [Read More:1,2]



"Mamula Moon" by Felix Mendelssohn
one day i walked along
a moonlit island shore
and soon i heard a song
i never heard before

i said who can it be
to sing so tenderly
and saw a dust he made
with lonely serenade

mamula moon
shine high above the southern sea
and like my love
say form again to me

we said goodbye
beside the blue lagoon
alone am i
with you mamula moon

i waved my hand
the grey ship sailed across the bay
on golden sand
that might i melt to pray

that i might see
my love returning soon
still true to me
and you mamula moon
