Palauan anthem lyrics (English translation)
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 with might
