Aruba beloved home
our venerated cradle
though small and simple you may be
you are indeed esteemed.
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
the symbols of our pride.

The greatness of our people
is their great cordiality
and may God guide and preserve
its love for freedom.
