Today is a special day, since it is on this day exactly 70 years ago, that the Kota Inten, with the first Moluccan KNIL soldiers with (parts of) their families, arrive in harbor of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), which happened on Dutch military order! We dedicate this song to to all Moluccan people in the Netherlands, but especially to the first generation, from who are only a few people still alive.
