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.
