First verse:

Our great nation will ever prosper
And her beautiful islands shall never fall
And our nation will live on forever
We’ll never fall to imperialism again
We will forever prosper
In these four sunny sea isles
There will be peace, oh there will
Over our great and blessed kingdom

Second verse:

Kapuku will live on for many ages
With our four gods to lead us on
And on the throne which was fought for
Our great king will always protect us
If we are to ever fall
The intruder will be sure to know our name
Our beautiful isles will forever remain
Very peaceful, and stable, and great
