We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim

I
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!

We have many traditions,
And also many modern ways,
But we are all one,
And this is who we are.

We know there is much work to be done,
On all our islands,
God helps us in our work,
He is Our Father!

Nous sommes, nous sommes, nous sommes
fiers de proclamer
Nous sommes, nous sommes, nous sommes
les Hommes du Vanuatu

Dieu nous a donné cet endroit,
Nous en sommes très heureux,
Nous y sommes forts et libres,
Nous sommes tous frères !

II
Nous avons maintes traditions,
Maintes manières d'aujourd'hui,
Mais nous ne sommes qu'un,
Et c'est là notre identité.

Refrain

III
Nous savons qu'il y a beaucoup de travail,
Sur toutes nos îles,
Dieu nous vienne tous en aide,
Il est Notre Père !

Refrain
