[edit] English lyrics
- My island (heart) lies o'er the ocean;
- Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;
- With a (the) light of Maker from far above;
- Shining the with the brilliance of rays of life;
- Our Father's wondrous creation;
- Bequeathed to us, our Motherland;
- I'll never leave my dear home sweet home;
- God of our forefathers protect and bless forever Marshall Islands.
