Oh God
We praise and glorify You
For Your grace on South Sudan
Land of great abundance
Uphold us united in peace and harmony.

Oh Motherland
We rise raising flag with the guiding star
And singing songs of freedom with joy;
For justice, liberty and prosperity
Shall forever more reign!

Oh great patriots
Let us stand up in silence and respect,
Saluting our martyrs whose blood
Cemented our national foundation,
We vow to protect our nation.

Oh God, bless South Sudan!

Oo Nhialic!
Yïn piɔnyku ku theku yïn
Në kë cï yïn piɔ̈u kok në Thudan ë wöwic,

Ku kiɛtkï diɛt ke namlääu në miɛt ë piɔ̈u,
Ke kïït kekë namlääu ku yöŋde käŋ
Ëë bi tɔu aɣët athɛɛr wadäŋ.

Ku muɔthku kɔc kan ci kuu rim ken ci kuëër,
Pïɛ̈ɛ̈tkï këkër de paanda
Wok ci kuëŋ buk paanda gël.
