Forever Marshall Islands
Lyrics:
Marshallese:
Aelōn̄ eo ao ion lometo;
Einwot wut ko lōti ion dren elae;
Kin meram in Mekar jen ijo ilan̄;
Erreo an romak ioir kin meram in mour;
Eltan pein Anij eweleo im wōj;
Kejolit kij kin ijin jikir emol;
Ijjamin Ilok jen in aō lemoran;
Anij an ro jemem wonakke im kejrammon Aelin̄ kein am.
English:
My island lies o’er the ocean;
Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;
With a 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.
