God zij met ons Suriname
God be with our Suriname
Hij verheffe ons heerlijk land
And elevate our lovely land
Hoe wij hier ook samen kwamen
However we came together here
Aan zijn land zijn wij verpand
We are dedicated to his land
Werkend houden we in gedachten
Working we keep in mind
recht en waarheid maken vrij
justice and truth make free
Al wat goed is te betrachten
All that’s good we should do
Dat geeft aan ons land waardij.
That gives value to our land
Opo kondreman oen opo
Rise country men, rise
Sranan gron e kari oen.
The soil of Suriname is calling you.
Wans ope tata komopo,
Where ever our ancestors came from
Wi moes seti kondre boen.
We should take care of our country.
Stre de f’stre wi no sa frede
We are not afraid to fight
Gado de wi fesiman.
God is our leader
Heri libi te na dede,
Our whole life until our death,
Wi sa feti gi Sranan.
We will fight for Suriname.
