KIRIBATI WARRIORS RISING

From the ocean we arise

Under burning island skies

Spirits strong we carry on

Ancient voices guide us on

Feel the rhythm in the sand

Power moving through the land

Hear the call across the sea

We are one in unity

Tekiribasi

Strong and free

Hear the sound

Island warriors rising now

Kote Keton

Korobata

Kote Keton

Waves are singing ancient song

We have known it all along

Fire, wind and ocean wide

All our spirits unified

the drums inside your chest

Island hearts will never rest

Through the night into the sun

Many voices

Take it in basi

Hear our plea

Voices rise

Echo through the endless skies

Te maori te roi, te tabo moa

Te maori te roi, te tabo moa

us across the sea

Island soul in harmony

the sound

Island warriors rising now

inna barra

Till we bust it up, up
