I just got Indonesia’s national song video from my friend. It is three times longer than the song I usually heard on most ceremonies on school and some national songbooks.
Those two verses are a prayer for Indonesia, while the first verse, the one I usually heard, maybe it just to shorting the ceremony duration because it usually held on school time.

However, let me translate the modern text to english.
INDONESIA RAYA
Verse I
Indonesia tanah airku, Indonesia my homeland,
Tanah tumpah darahku, Land where I shed my blood,
Di sanalah aku berdiri, That’s the place I stand,
Jadi pandu ibuku. Become a pathfinder for my mom.

- Indonesia kebangsaanku, Indonesia my nationality,
- Bangsa dan tanah airku, My country and my homeland,
- Marilah kita berseru, Let us shout,
- Indonesia bersatu. Indonesia United.
Hiduplah tanahku, Be alive oh my land
Hiduplah neg’riku, Be alive oh my country
