Official version

Belau loba klisiich er a kelulul,
El dimia ngarngii ra rechuodelmei
Meng mengel uoluu er a chimol beluu,
El ngar cheungel a rirch lomke sang.

Bo dole ketek a kerruul er a belluad, 
Lolab a blakelreng ma duchelreng.
Belau a chotil a klengar re kid,
Mebo dorurtabedul msa klisichel.

Bod kai ue reke dchim lokiu a reng,
E dongedmokel ra dimla koted.
Lomcheliu a rengrdel ma klebkellel,
Lokiu a budch ma beltikelreng.

Dios mo mek ngel tengat ra Be lumam,
El dimla dikesam ra rechuodelmei,
Beskemam a klisicham ma llemeltam,
Lorrurt a klungiolam elmo ch'rechar.

English translation of the first verse

Palau is coming forth with strength and power,
By her old ways abides still every hour.
One country, safe, secure, one government
Under the glowing, floating soft light stands.
