I
Teirake kaaini Kiribati,
Anene ma te kakatonga,
Tauraoi nakon te mwioko,
Ma ni buokia aomata.
Tauaninne nte raoiroi,
Tangiria aomata nako.
Tauaninne nte raoiroi,
Tangiria aomata.

II
Reken te kabaia ma te rau,
Ibuakoia kaain abara,
Bon reken te nano ae banin,
Ma te i-tangitangiri naba.
Ma ni wakina te kabaia,
Ma n neboa i eta abara.
Ma ni wakina te kabaia,
Ma n neboa abara.

III
Ti butiko ngkoe Atuara,
Kawakinira ao kairira,
Nakon taai aika i maira,
Buokira ni baim ae akoi.
Kakabaia ara Tautaeka,
Ma ake a makuri iai.
Kakabaia ara Tautaeka,
Ma aomata ni bane.

Stand up, people of Kiribati!
Sing with jubilation!
Prepare to accept responsibility
And to help each other!
Be steadfastly righteous!
Love all our people!
