Original Lyrics in Tuvaluan
Tuvalu mo te Atua
Ki te se gata mai
Ko te fakavae sili
Ko te loto o te fai.
Kae amo fakatasi
Ate atu moti vai
Kote atu mo te loto
Te manuia kae sala.
Tuvalu mote Atua
Ki te se gata mai
Kote tala mo te lalolagi
Ko fai mo te Atua.

Tuvalu for the Almighty
Are the words we hold most dear,
For as people or as leaders
Of Tuvalu we all share
In the knowledge that God ever
Rules in heav’n’s great expanse
And the universe’s heart
Is His holy residence.
Tuvalu for the Almighty
Is our song of reverent praise
For in Him we all believe
And with Him we’ll live always.
