National Anthem

"BLESSED MOTHER LAND"

"KURU NINA KIBÈRKAT"

 

Rai lui ina hami umaing

Ihuni sutung wani hinati,

Rata sedim, samura yaing

Na taura rang kula hi ati

.

Hami uwa Makuwa ahudak

Umana haima nguwate main.

Lirai yamalmai hami ukurak

Hi tanu yujim hami santain.

 

             ***

 

Kuru Nina kibèrkat,

Mana kena utèngang

Ratna hi lasahi,

Liraidahen Kaupèlan.

 

            ***

 

Hami, tikai, kisulatu,

Kidai waim yungi sahi tana,

Uni langahe sai lapu

Na jiwa hi wiraha upana.

 

Ate watera ai langi

Na huran kena yukain,

Uni ingawa sambi sèlangi

Hi tanu yujim hami santain

From a sacred land we are,

With dense forest and trees,

Beautiful mountains, blue seas

And a people with brave heart.

 

We came from Makuwa tribes,

Heirs of a people, the strongest,

The honourable king is our guide

In the fields our ancestors rest.

 

              ***

 

Blessed Mother Land,

Where we will build

The jewel of the East,

Kingdom of Kaupelan

 

               ***

 

But we are always prepared,

If the shadows seize the land;

For a campaign, long and hard

Our lives in sacrifice we grant.

 

Till the Sun returns to the sky

And the dawn comes to shine

Bringing peace to last

In the fields our ancestors rest.
