O, Aruba, dushi tera
nos baranca tan stima
Nos amor p’abo t’asina grandi

cu palma tur dorna
Bo escudo y bandera ta
orguyo di nos tur!

Grandeza di bo pueblo ta

Cu Dios por guia y conserva

Aruba waardeerde inheems land
Onze vereerd wieg
U kunt klein en eenvoudig zijn
Maar nog bent u geacht.
Refrein:
Oh Aruba lieve land
Onze rots zo geliefd
Onze liefde voor u is zo sterk
Die niets het kan vernietigen. (Herhalen)
Uw stranden bewonderden zo veel
Met palmbomen alle versierde
Uw jas van armen en markeer
Is de trots van ons iedereen!
Refrein
De grootsheid van onze mensen
Is hun geweldige hartelijkheid
Die God kan gidsen en bewaren
Zijn liefde voor vrijheid!
Refrein
