Mulungu dalitsa Malawi,
God bless Malawi,
Mumsunge m’mtendere.
Keep it in peace.
Gonjetsani adani onse,
Defeat all enemies,
Njala, nthenda, nsanje.
Hunger, disease, jealousy.
Lunzitsani mitima yathu,
Light our hearts,
Kuti tisaope.
So that we may not fear.
Mdalitse Mtsogo leri nafe,
Bless our leader and us,
Ndi mayi Malawi.
And mother Malawi.
Malawi ndziko lokongola,
Malawi is a beautiful country,
La chonde ndi ufulu,
Of fertility and freedom,
Nyanja ndi mphepo ya m’mapiri,
The lake and the mountain breeze,
Ndithudi tadala.
Indeed we are blessed.
Zigwa, mapiri, nthaka, dzinthu,
Valleys, mountains, land, crops,
N’mphatso zaulere.
Are free gifts.
Nkhalango, madambo abwino.
Forests, good wetlands.
Ngwokoma Malawi.
Sweet is Malawi.
O Ufulu tigwirizane,
O Freedom, let us unite,
Kukweza Malawi.
To uplift Malawi.
Ndi chikondi, khama, kumvera,
With love, hard work, obedience,
Timutumikire.
Let us serve it.
Pa nkhondo nkana pa mtendere,
In war or in peace,
Cholinga n’chimodzi.
The goal is one.
Mai, bambo, tidzipereke,
Mother, father, let us dedicate ourselves,
Pokweza Malawi.
To uplifting Malawi.
