Here’s an English version of the song "Harta Berharga" (“The Precious Treasure”) — the beloved theme from Keluarga Cemara, popularized by Bunga Citra Lestari (BCL) for the 2019 film adaptation. This translation conveys the heartfelt spirit and family values at its core:





🎵 “The Precious Treasure” (English Translation)

The most precious treasure...
is family
The most beautiful palace...
is family

The most meaningful poem...
is family
The pearl with unmatchable shine...
is family 

Good morning, mom
Good morning, dad
Today the sun...
shines magnificently

Thank you, Mom
Thank you, Dad
For standing strong for us
your children who are ready to serve

The refrain repeats:
The most meaningful poem...
is family
The pearl with unmatchable shine...
is family

(Emphasis on love and gratitude)
Thank you, Mom (“Dear…”)
Thank you, Dad (“Dear…”)
For being strong for us
Your children who are ready to serve
On this beautiful, bright day
(Good morning)
