Fijian lyrics
editMeda dau doka ka vinakata na vanua
E ra sa dau tiko kina na savasava
Rawa tu na gauna ni sautu na veilomani
Biu na i tovo tawa savasava
Chorus:
Me bula ga ko Viti ka me toro ga ki liu
Me ra turaga vinaka ko ira na i liuliu
Me ra liutaki na tamata e na veika vinaka
Me oti kina na i tovo ca
Bale ga vei kemuni na cauravou e Viti
Ni yavala me savasava na vanua
Ni kakua ni vosota na dukadukali
Ka me da sa qai biuta vakadua
Chorus

English translation of Fijan lyrics
editLet us show our pride and honour our nation
Where righteous people reside
Where prosperity and fellowship may persevere
Abandon deeds that are immoral
Chorus:
Let Fiji live on and progress onwards
May our leaders be honourable men
Let them lead our people to great things
And bring an end to all things immoral
The burden of change lie on your shoulders youth of Fiji
Be the strength to cleanse our nation
Be wary and not harbour malice
For we must abandon such sentiments forever
Chorus
English lyrics
editBlessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji
As we stand united under noble banner blue
And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever
Onward march together, God bless Fiji.
Chorus:
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride
For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hails far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befalls
May God bless Fiji forever more!
Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song
Stand united, we of Fiji, fame and glory ever
Onward march together, God bless Fiji.
Chorus
Fiji-Hindi lyrics
editHe jagdishwar, kripa karo tum Fiji desh pe apne
Ahle watan hum teri sharan mein, teri dhwaja ke neehe
Ajaadi ki raksha aur samman sada hum karege
Sab milke badhte rahege, sarwamangal Fiji
Chorus:
Yeh Fiji, hamara Fiji, hum sab mil gaate rahe
Yeh Fiji Hamara Fiji, yeh naara lagate rahe
Dharti hai apni, azaadi, asha aur garva ki
Kripa rahe prabhu ki, Fiji par sarwada
Hindi lyrics (आशीर्वाद फिजी)
editके द्वीपों पर ओह राष्ट्रों के भगवान अनुदान जैसा
कि हम महान बैनर तले नीले एकजुट
और हम सम्मान और स्वतंत्रता के कारण बचाव कभी
आगे एक साथ मार्च, भगवान भला करे फिजी.
कोरस:
फिजी के लिए, कभी फिजी, चलो हमारी आवाज गर्व
साथ अंगूठी फिजी के लिए, कभी फिजी, उसका नाम जय दूर और चौड़े,
स्वतंत्रता आशा है, और महिमा, का एक भूमि सहना करने के लिए क्या कभी
बीतना भगवान भला करे फिजी हमेशा के लिए और अधिक!
आशीर्वाद अनुदान, फिजी के द्वीपों पर राष्ट्रों के भगवान,
ओह सुनहरी रेत और धूप, खुशी और गीत
की किनारे एकजुट खड़े हो जाओ, फिजी, प्रसिद्धि और महिमा से हम कभी
आगे एक साथ मार्च, भगवान फिजी भला करे.

editKē dvīpōṁ para ōha rāṣṭrōṁ kē bhagavāna anudāna jaisā
Ki hama mahāna bainara talē nīlē ēkajuṭa
Aura hama sam'māna aura svatantratā kē kāraṇa bacāva kabhī
Āgē ēka sātha mārca, bhagavāna bhalā karē phijī.
Kōrasa:
Phijī kē li'ē, kabhī phijī, calō hamārī āvāja garva
Sātha aṅgūṭhī phijī kē li'ē, kabhī phijī, usakā nāma jaya dūra aura cauṛē,
Svatantratā āśā hai, aura mahimā, kā ēka bhūmi sahanā karanē kē li'ē kyā kabhī
Bītanā bhagavāna bhalā karē phijī hamēśā kē li'ē aura adhika!
Āśīrvāda anudāna, phijī kē dvīpōṁ para rāṣṭrōṁ kē bhagavāna,
Ōha sunaharī rēta aura dhūpa, khuśī aura gīta
Kī kinārē ēkajuṭa khaṛē hō jā'ō, phijī, prasid'dhi aura mahimā sē hama kabhī
Āgē ēka sātha mārca, bhagavāna phijī bhalā karē.
