CHORUS:
We, we, we are happy to proclaim
We, we, we are the people of Vanuatu

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!

CHORUS

Plenty of our past customs remain,
There are many customs from 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!!

French translation

REFRAIN :
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 !

REFRAIN

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 !

REFRAIN

Nous savons qu'Il y a beaucoup de travail,
Sur toutes nos îles,
Dieu nous aide tous,
Il est Notre Père !
