Kejolit kij kin ijin jikir emol;
Ijjamin Ilok jen in aō lemoran;
Anij an ro jemem wonakke im kejrammon Aelin̄ kein ad. (𝄇)

My island lies o’er the ocean;
Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;
With the light of the Maker from far above;
Shining 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. (𝄇)
