My island (heart) lies o’er the ocean;

Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;

With a (the) light of Maker from far above;

Shining the 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.
