"Ine Ama" is the song that originally belong to an indie band in Aceh, JEULATANK. JEULATANK members is also social activist from KOMUNITAS KANOT BU. This Community is recognized as many of its member's creative-work critisized about government's policies in Aceh. Not only synical on government's work, Jeulatank also known with the song about social behavior where there are so many degradation of the current situation in Aceh. The song that I cover today, Ine Ama, telling about deep message to the young generation as they are the future of our beloved land.

Here is the lyrics and its translation

Neuk katroh u nanggroe
Tarhah gaki neuk ta'ek u rumoh

Child, you are back
Wash your feet and step into the house

Neuk tatukui Ulee
Bah poma gusuek neuk'ee bohate ma

Child, get your head down
Let me touch your head my dear

Inong, tanom lam hate
Droe kawom hawa nong'ee tameh nanggroe

Young ladies, plant it into your heart..
You are the lady that become the pillar of country

Agam, tapeukong baho
Nyoe tan le kamoe gam'ee gulam nanggroe

Young man, strengthen your shoulder
When we all passed away you must carried these all on your shoulder

Ineeee... Amaaa
Ineeee... Amaaa

Neuk tahiroe bangsa
Lagee Mak hiroe peurayeuk gaya

Child, take care of your country
As if I take care of raising you

Neuk jaga syedara
Lagee Mak jaga neuk'ee tuboh gata

Child, take care of your families
As if I take care of your body

Beulagee ie Krueng jeureungeh ilee..
Doa lon mate bak hiroe bangsa

Be like a clean river flow
Pray I death for my country

Beulagee kareung teuglong lam bumoe...
Bek le poma moe dak darah lon ro

Be like rockal stand on the earth
Don't cry if I bleed for this land

Beulagee gunong manyang lam awan...
Sabe beusajan nye mak mantong udep

Be like mountain high into the sky
Always together during our life

Beulagee laot keu gareh bumoe
Mate Aneuk nyoe poma neu rela

Be like the sea as the line of the earth
If You die I am willing

With Love,
