Rayuan Pulau Kelapa (Solace on Coconut Island) is an Indonesian song written by Ismail Marzuki (1914-1958), who wrote a number of popular tunes in the country's early post-independence period. The lyrics praise Indonesia's natural beauty, such as its floral-related double entendres, islands and beaches, and profess undying love for the country.[1]
The song is a nostalgic favourite among Indonesian expatriates, particularly those who left the country for the Netherlands in the 1940s and 1950s, after independence.[2]
The 2016 mashup "Satu Indonesiaku" consists of this song, "Zamrud Khatulistiwa", "Kolam Susu" and "Pemuda".
