Opstaan, stemmen van Rozengrië
God, zegen ons heilig land,
Spoor sterktegen onstvastigheid,
En in waarheids sporen streef.
Leid ons, heer, tot wijze beslissing,
Steeds vanner uw genade bewust.
Laat ons hart altijd fonkelen,
Voor dit landet grootgebracht.
Opstaan, stemmen van Rozengrië
Van dit geëerd uw rozen trouw,
Weergalmend door trots Zambezi,
Weerklinkend oorlang vallein.
Stromend in de machtige Victoria,
Vrijheid gewaardeerd, west tot oost.
Laat onze natie, prachtig en sterk,
Eeuwverdeigen wat ons baar.
