    English lyrics[2] Saint Lucian Creole lyrics[3]

    I
    Sons and daughters of Saint Lucia,
    love the land that gave us birth,
    land of beaches, hills and valleys,
    fairest isle of all the earth.
    Wheresoever you may roam,
    Love, oh, love our island home.

    II
    Gone the times when nations battled
    for this 'Helen of the West',
    gone the days when strife and discord
    dimmed her children's toil and rest.
    Dawns at last a brighter day,
    stretches out a glad new way.

    III
    May the good Lord bless our island,
    guard her sons from woe and harm,
    may our people live united,
    strong in soul and strong in arm!
    Justice, Truth and Charity,
    Our ideal for ever be!

    I
    Fi èk fis, manmay Sent Lisi
    Chéwi péyi nésans-nou
    Péyi montany, lans èk valé
    Pli bèl lil ki asou late!
    Nenpòt plas nou vwayajé
    Toujou chéwi lil natal-nou

    II
    Sa pa tan nasyon bat ladjè
    Pou bèlté Élenn nou-an
    Sa pa tan wivòt èk konba
    Té twoublé lavi nou tout
    Mètnan, syèl-la éklèsi
    An lawout nèf ouvè pou nou

    III
    Dyé, Senyè, benni péyi-nou
    Pwotéjé’y kont tout malè
    Fè nou viv ansanm an lapé
    Fè nou fò an kò é lam
    Endé nou tjenn kon pwensip
    Jistis, Lamou, Lavéwité!
