Aruba patria aprecia
nos cuna venera
Chikito y simpel bo por ta
pero si respeta.
chorus
O, Aruba, dushi tera
nos baranca tan stima
Nos amor p’abo t’asina grandi
cu n’tin nada pa kibr'e, cu'n tin nada pa kibr'e.
Bo playanan tan admira
cu palma tur dorna
Bo escudo y bandera ta
orguyo di nos tur!
chorus
Grandeza di bo pueblo ta
su gran cordialidad
Cu Dios por guia y conserva
su amor pa libertad!
Chorus

Aruba our apreciated home
our venerated cradle
though small and simple you may be
but you are respected.
Chorus:
Aruba our dear country
our rock so well beloved
our love for you is so strong
that nothing can destroy it. (repeat)
Your beaches so much admired
with palm trees all adorned
your coat of arms and flag
is the proudness of our all!
Chorus
The greatness of our people
is their great cordiality
and may God guide and preserve
its love for freedom.
Chorus
