Lyrics

Gilbertese version

Teirake kaini Kiribati,
Anene ma te kakatonga,
Tauraoi nakon te mwioko,
Ma ni buokia aomata.
Tauaninne n te raoiroi,
Tangiria aomata nako.
Tauaninne n te raoiroi,
Tangiria aomata.
Tangiria aomata.
Reken te kabaia ma te rau
Ibuakoia kaain abara,
Bon reken te nano ae banin
Ma te i-tangitangiri naba.
Ma ni wakina te kab'aia,
Ma n neboa i eta abara.
Ma ni wakina te kab’aia,
Ma n neboa abara.
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.
