The Little Mermaid (2023) - Part of Your World (Indonesian)
Putri Duyung (2023) - Dunia Sana (Bahasa Indonesia)

I've been writing these lyrics for almost six months and revising them as much as possible to make them the best they can be, especially in terms of syllables, rhymes, lip-sync, and keeping the song's message as faithful to the English version as possible. I wanted a girl to sing them, and once again, Zara was willing and able to do it. She did an amazing job. It's not easy to learn lyrics in a language that's not your own, so please appreciate her effort. For a foreigner, I think her pronunciation is pretty good. Any suggestions for the lyrics are welcome, and if you'd like to try covering my lyrics, feel free to tag me!

Singer: Zara Mitrova (‪@maniagirl1801)
Mixing: @meowooofie
Lyrics, translation, and video: me

Note:
- There’s no official Indonesian dub for the movie, so I made my own version.
- This was recorded in a higher key. To hear the original pitch, check it out here: youtu.be/fwhs_1BpWcQ?si=xoAHMYXpW_V25Lle
- The demo version I sang as a guide for Zara: youtu.be/n3H4MoRQFU8?si=qaZ8NJRhv49PS7NG
- “Menyelami dunia sana” carries both metaphorical and literal meanings.
• Metaphorically, “menyelami” means to deeply immerse oneself in or fully experience something.
• Literally, “menyelami” means “to dive into” or “explore beneath the surface”. Since Ariel is a mermaid, the line preserves Ariel’s ocean-based way of viewing the human world.

Lyrics:
[ARIEL, spoken]
Aku tidak paham bagaimana dunia
Menciptakan hal seindah ini bisa tanpa cela

[ARIEL]
Coba lihat semua ini
Ragam benda bernuansa seni
Pesona di dalamnya
Tak tergambar indahnya
Amatilah sekitarmu
Gua ini memikat hatimu
Hingga kau pun tertanya
"Dia punya s'galanya?"
Harta karunku begitu unik
Berlimpah ruah, tiada tara

[ARIEL, spoken]
Kau ingin yang mana? Semua antik

[ARIEL]
Namun yang kuingin berbeda

Aku ingin pergi ke sana
Memandangi mereka menari
Dan berjalan dengan–

[ARIEL, spoken]
Apa namanya? Oh

[ARIEL]
Kaki!
Siripmu tak cukup berguna
Kaki perlu tuk lompat menari
Melangkah di atas—

[ARIEL, spoken]
Apa sebutannya?

[ARIEL]
Pasir

Dan menggapai mimpi nyata
Larut dalam riuhnya kota
Bebas pergi, menyelami
Dunia sana

Kan kuberi semua ini
Untuk ke atas
Bergembira tanpa lara
Di daratan
Tiap insan pengertian
Anaknya tak terkekang batas
Gadis riang, bosan renang
Mau berjalan

Akan kusambut lembaran baru
Tiap tanya berbuah jawaban
Itu api dan mengapa—

[ARIEL, spoken]
Ia memba—

[ARIEL]
—Ra?

Kapan takdirku berubah
Saat rindu kian merekah
Kelak nanti, kudatangi
Dunia sana
