CHORUS:

We, we, we are happy to proclaim

We, we, we are the people of Vanuatu

 

God has given us this land,

We have great cause for rejoicing

We are strong and we are free in this land

We are all brothers

 

CHORUS

 

There were many ways before

There are many ways 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!

 

CHORUS
