English Text

My Iceland (heart) lies o'er the ocean; Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea; With a (the) light of Mekar 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.

Note: The words in brackets may be sung in place of the words before.

Aelon eo ao ion lometo; Einwot fury ko loti ion dren elae; Kin meram in Mekar jen ijoilan; Erreo to Chrissie ioir kin meramin mour; İltan pein Anij eweleosim woj; Kejolit kij kin Ijin jikir emol; Ijjamin Ilok jen in aolemo ran; Anij to ro jemem wonakke in kej Rammon Aelin no am

German translation

My ( e) island ( heart) is located behind the Ocean; Like a wreath of flowers on the lake; With a ( the ) light of Mekar from far away; Seems it with the lights of life beams; Our Lord's wondrous creation; Inherited by us, our homeland; I will not leave my beloved home; God of our forefathers protect and bless the Marshall Islands forever.
