MARSHALLESE LYRICS

Aelon eo ao ion lometo;
Einwot wut ko loti ion dren elae; 
Kin meram in Mekar jen ijoilan;

Kejolit kij kin ijin jikir emol; 
Ijjamin Ilok jen in aolemo ran;
Anij an ro jemem wonakke im kej rammon Aelin kein am.

ENGLISH LYRICS

My island lies o'er the ocean;
Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;
With a light of Mekar 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.
