Lyrics
ini dia si jali-jali
lagunya enak lagunya enak merdu sekali
capek sedikit tidak perduli sayang
asalkan tuan asalkan tuan senang di hati
palinglah enak si mangga udang
hei sayang disayang pohonnya tinggi pohonnya tinggi buahnya jarang
palinglah enak si orang bujang sayang
kemana pergi kemana pergi tiada yang m’larang
disana gunung disini gunung
hei sayang disayang ditengah tengah ditengah tengah kembang melati
disana bingung disini bingung sayang
samalah sama samalah sama menaruh hati
jalilah jali dari cikini sayang
jali-jali dari cikini jalilah jali sampai disini

Halo, Halo Bandung is an Indonesian patriotic song written by Ismail Marzuki that describes the spirit of the struggle of the people of the city of Bandung in the post-independence period in 1946, particularly in the Bandung Sea of Fire that occurred on March 23, 1946.
Ismail Marzuki, then a singer and songwriter of keroncong groupsLief Java, performed regularly with the group by the mid 1930s at Studio Orkes NIROM II in Tegalega,Bandung, as part of theNIROMstation's Eastern Programme.Having returned toBataviaafter marrying fellow singer of the groups, Eulis Zuraidah, the sentimental memories and sweet reminiscences of the city was well maintained in his mind. These recollections led him to wrote a song called "Hallo Bandung" in theSundanese language,as well as other songs such as "Bandung Selatan di Waktu Malam" and "Saputangan dari Bandung Selatan". The phrase "Hallo Bandoeng" was well known at that time as thecall-signand usual opening used byRadio Kootwijkwhen establishing aradio-telegraphic connection with Bandung (inDutch: "Bandoeng"), one of the largest cities in the thenDutch East Indies.It was made famous byQueen ConsortEmmawhen she officially opened theradiotelephoneservice fromKoninklijke PTT Nederlandmain building inThe Hagueon January 7, 1929 with the words "Hallo Bandoeng… Hier Den Haag".It quickly escalated even further as acatchphrasesince the release ofDutchsong "Hallo Bandoeng" byWilly Derbywhich sold more than 50,000 copies, a remarkable number at that time.
Following the surrender of the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies, Indonesian nationalists fought a four-year war of independence against Dutch NICA and initially British Commonwealth forces, a period known as the Indonesian National Revolution. Early in this period Ismail Marzuki and his wife had to evacuate to Bandung to escape from British-Dutch occupation in Jakarta. Unfortunately after they settled in Bandung, an ultimatum was given by the British force for the Indonesian combatants in Bandung to leave the city. In response, the southern part of Bandung was deliberately burned down in an act of defiance as they left on 24 March 1946; an event which came to be known as Bandung Lautan Api (or Bandung Sea of Fire). This incident inspired Ismail Marzuki, as well as many Indonesian combatants and refugees, to alter the last two sentences of the song lyrics to become more patriotic and be able to boost their fighting spirit against British-Dutch forces. Soon after, the song Halo, Halo Bandung became very famous and emerged as a symbol of the struggle of the Indonesian people in their fight for independence from colonial foreign nations.
