Kiribati lyrics

Gilbertes:

Teirake kaini Kiribati

Teirake kaini Kiribati, Anene ma te kakatonga,
Tauraoi nakon te nwioko, Ma ni buokia aomata.
Tauaninne n te raoiroi, Tangiria aoma ta nako.
Tauaninne n te raoiroi, Tangiria aomata.

Reken te kabaia ma te rau Ibuakoia kaain abara Bon reken abara Bon reken te nano ae banin Ma te i-tangitangiri naba.
Ma ni wakina te kab'aia, Ma n neboa abara.
Ma ni wakina te kab'aia, Ma n neboa abara.

Ti butiko ngkoe Atuara Kawakinira ao kairika Nakon taai aika i maira.
Buokira ni baim ae akoi.
Kakabaia ara Tautaeka Ma ake a makuri iai.
Kakabaia ara Tautaeka Ma aomata ni bane.
