CHORUS:
We, we, we are happy to proclaim
We, we, we are the people of Vanuatu
God has given us this land,
We are grateful for this,
We are strong and we are free in this land,
We are all brothers!
CHORUS
Plenty of our past customs remain,
There are many customs from 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!!

Voilà notre coutume !

Sur toutes nos îles,
Dieu nous aide tous,
Il est Notre Père !
