- Belau loba klisiich er a kelulul,
- El dimla ngarngii ra rechuodelmei
- Meng mengel uoluu er a chimol beluu,
- El ngar cheungel a rirch lomke sang.
- Bo dole ketek a kerruul er a belluad,
- Lolab a blakelreng ma duchelreng.
- Belau a chotil a klengar re kid,
- Mebo dorurtabedul msa klisichel.
- Bod kai ue reke dchim lokiu a reng,

- Lokiu a budch ma beltikelreng.
- Dios mo mek ngel tengat ra Be lumam,
- El dimla dikesam ra rechuodelmei,
- Beskemam a klisicham ma llemeltam,
- Lorrurt a klungiolam elmo ch'rechar.
English translation of the first verse
- Palau is coming forth with strength and power,
- By her old ways abides still every hour.
- One country, safe, secure, one government
- Under the glowing, floating soft light stands.
- Let's build our economy's protecting fence
- With courage, faithfulness and diligence
- Our life is anchored in Palau, our land
- We with our might through life and death defend
- In spirit let's join hands, united, one
- Care for our homeland...from forefathers on
- Look after its concord, its glory keep
- Through peace and love and heart's devotion deep
- God bless our country, our island home always
- Our sweet inheritance from ancient days
- Give us strength and power and all the rights
- To govern with to all eternity
