Children of Fiji

- ■ Compiled by HARSHA KUMAR

So proud to fly your colours high My island home

We are resilient and strong in trying times

With the Bula Spirit in us

If the world falls apart We’ll be united till the end Strong as a family yeah Coz we are family

(Chorus) Children of Fiji unite

As one nation Together we can do this We’ll overcome anything Viti nikua me sa veisau (Fiji today has to change)

Me da veilomani (let’s love one another)

Ka dua vata (let’s unite) Da cakacaka vata na lewei Viti (to see our mana)

Me yaco na mana ni noda vanua (Fijians need to work together) Da veitokoni ka cakacaka vata (let’s support, accept each other) Me da vei raici ka dau vosota (take care of each other and be forgiving) Me rawa ni bula na noda vanua (so that our land can live) Ka rogo ko Viti (so that Fiji may be known)

Da cakacaka vata na lewei Viti (to see our mana)

Me yaco na mana ni noda vanua (Fijians need to work together)

(Bridge) Fijian smiling faces so beautiful Together we’re stronger Lift our voices together now

(chorus) Muri’e muri’e muri’e (greetings) Leum is la te’ag’ esea (Come together, let’s be one)

Te la kel ma re la kel ( show them what we are) Leum is la te’ag’ esea (Come together, let’s be one) Leum is la te’ag’ esea (Come together, let’s be one) Leum is la te’ag’ esea (Come together, let’s be one) Yahin paida bhaya (we were born here) Marega yahn (we will die here) milke humlog jite ga (we will win together) Sundar Fiji (beautiful Fiji) Hum log ke Fiji (our Fiji) Bala wala Fiji (Bula Fiji) Hum log ke Fiji (our Fiji) Bala wala Fiji (Bula Fiji)
