We, We, We
We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim
We are, we are, we are the people of Vanuatu
God has given us this land,
We are grateful for this,
We are strong and we are free in this land,
We are all brothers!
We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim
We are, we are, we are the people of Vanuatu
Many customs of before we have,
Many customs from today,
But we are all one,
Despite our many ways!
We are, we are, we are happy to proclaim
We are, we are, we are the people of Vanuatu
We know there is plenty of work to be done,
On all our many islands,
God helps us in our work,
He is Our Father!
The National Anthem of Vanuatu was written and composed by François Vincent Ayssav.
The motto of Vanuatu : In God we stand.
