We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim

We are, we are, we are the people of Vanuatu

I

God has given us this land,

We are grateful for this,

We are strong and we are free in this land,

We are all brothers!

II

We have many traditions,

And also many modern ways,

But we are all one,

And this is who we are.

III

We know there is much work to be done,

On all our islands,

God helps us in our work,

He is Our Father!
