English translation CHORUS: We are happy to proclaim We are the People of Vanuatu! God has given us this land; This gives us great cause for rejoicing. We are strong, we are free in this land; We are all brothers. CHORUS We have many traditions And we are finding new ways. Now we shall be one People, We shall be united for ever. CHORUS We know there is much work to be done On all our islands. May God, our Father, help us! CHORUS

This should not be confused with the bubblegum song, "Yummy Yummy Yummy" performed by the Ohio Express.
