Naoero bwiema, ngabena ma auwe.
Ma dedaro bwe dogum, mo otata bet egom.
Atsin ngago bwien okor, ama bagadugu
Epoa ngabuna ri nan orre bet imur.
Ama memag ma nan epodan eredu won engiden,
Miyan aema ngeiyin ouge:
Naoero eko dogin!

Naoero bwiema, ñabena ma auwe.
Ma dedaro bwe dogum, mo otata bet egom.
Atsin ñago bwien okor, ama bagadugu
Epoa ñabuna ri nan orre bet imur.
Ama memag ma nan epodan eredu won eñiden,
Miyan aema ñeiyin ouge:
Naoero eko dogin!

Nauru our homeland, the land we dearly love,
We all pray for you and we also praise your name.
Since long ago you have been the home of our great forefathers
And will be for generations yet to come.
We all join in together to honour your flag,
And we shall rejoice together and say:
Nauru for evermore!
