Marshallese
Ejerre tak jen rear
Elimakake tok
Jen kitwon rear laplap
Iuweo ilon ejjobelbel

Mouj ainemon (iak)iakwe jem jera im
Kio in meram beran im ekkakalan ad anjo
English
Here is comes from afar
Flying towards us
From the great Northeastern winds
It undulates above
The Marshallese Flag
Blue like the ocean with many blessings
White for peace and love unites us and
Orange shines for our bravery and vitory
Uwaatakle
Uwaatakle iuweo tokojen
kabilon ilonilon
e iuwe ri-Kibin Meto murmur
aire jokola ie
e iuwe ri-Kibin Meto murmur
aire jokola ie
Sea Monster
Sea creature rising with the tide
from the far Western sky
Rise people of Kibin Meto charge forth
Ride the whirlwind (waterspout) to the North
Mour eo ao
Mour eo ao ion aelon eo ao
En emman lok jen mokta
Jen jimor jutak im ben likototot
Likot im wonmanlok
Lomnak kon aelon eo ao im jab jijot kake
Jutam ikedelel kake
Ikottabarlok, ikottabarlok
Jutam ikedelel kake
Ilikin leo ear eauti im kamajojoiki
Im jab ebber
My Life
My life in my country
Shall be better than before
Let’s stand together and stay strong
Strong and move forward
Think about my country and not neglect it
Stand up and rejoice in it
Reach for it, reach for it
Stand up and rejoice in it
In support of our ancestors who have molded it and founded it
And do not waiver
Ijakajoke
Ijakajoke tok ben jab tub eo ijo ekar ettolok
Bwe jen io (io jen io), io im iaio
Reban reban bobrae ad mo-momokitkit
Kon tokjen (tokjen, tokjen) kotak aelon eo ao
Eokjak men otemjej iman
Jutak im ekedelak iman
Jutak im ekedelak iman
 Setting Down
I should set it down so it won’t prize where it’s far
So we all join as one
They won’t they won’t hold back our actions
For our nation’s growth
Everything falling ahead as we stand and grow
Stand firm and fight for my country’s growth and nothing will hold us back from our expansion forward.
Won ad kommon kwe im na
Won ad kommon kwe im na
Kwe im na, kwe im na
Won ad kommon kwe im na
Anij ej bed lan
Who made you and me
Who made you and me
You and me, you and me
Who made you and me
God is in heaven
