Rayuan Pulau Kelapa

Rayuan Pulau Kelapa (Solace on Coconut Island), also known as Indonesië, Ik hou van jou (Indonesia, I Love You) in the Netherlands, 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.

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.

The 2016 mashup "Satu Indonesiaku" consists of this song, "Zamrud Khatulistiwa", "Kolam Susu" and "Pemuda".
