CHORUS:
We, we, we are happy to proclaim
We, we, we are the people of Vanuatu
God has given us this land,
We have great cause for rejoicing,
We are strong and we are free in this land,
We are all brothers!
CHORUS
There were many ways before,
There are many ways today,
But we are all one,
Despite our many ways!
CHORUS
We know there is plenty of work to be done,
We work hard on our many islands,
God helps us in our work,
He is Our Father!

Nous nous nous sommes fiers de dire que
Nous nous nous sommes des Hommes du Vanuatu
Dieu nous a donné cet endroit,
Nous y sommes très heureux,
Nous y sommes forts et libres,
Nous sommes tous frères !

Il y a beaucoup de coutumes du passé,
Il y a beaucoup de coutumes d'aujourd'hui,
Mais nous ne sommes qu'un,
Voilà notre coutume !

Sur toutes nos îles,
Dieu nous aide tous,
Il est Notre Père !
