National Anthem

"BLESSED MOTHER LAND"

"KURU NINA KIBÈRKAT"

 

Rai lui ina hami umaing

Ihuni alongkau hinati,

Rata terau, samura yaing

Na tau rang kula hi ati.

Makuwa uwan ahudak,

Hami haima nguwa nahin,

Lirai kimalmai ukurak

Hi rai imati hami satain.

***

Kuru Nina kibèrkat,

Nuhu-nuhu yahangan,

Ina ratna Lasahi,

Liraidahen Kaupèlan.

***

Tikai hami kimatahi

Uni langahe sai madan;

Kidai ungilaim yusahi

Kena upana hami rahan.

Ate Watera ai langi

Na huran kena yukain,

Ingawa sambi sèlangi

Hi rai imati hami satain

From a sacred land we are,

With huge forest trees,

Beautiful mountains, blue seas

And a people with a brave heart.

Heirs of Makuwa lineage,

Kin of a strong race,

An honorable king we obey

In the land our ancestors lie.

***

Blessed Mother Land,

Glorious archipelago,

Jewel of the East,

Kingdom of Kaupelan

***

But we are always prepared

To a long journey;

If the darkness arrives

Our blood will be offered.

Until the Sun be in the sky

And the morning comes in

Bringing the peace again

In the land our ancestors lie.
