Land of sun and gentle breeze,
Proud fatherland risen from the sea
Humble people, always happy,
Whose spirit is admired by all
So let us try each day,
For our Bonaire to always be mentioned
And we sing in good harmony
Sweet Bonaire, our beloved land
Let all of us as Bonairians,
Unite in song; raise our voices together
We, the children of a healthy people,
Always happy, trusting in God
No strength can remove this love,
That we feel for our island
Even though it is small and not perfect
We esteem it above everything
Proud fatherland risen from the sea

Unite in song; raise our voices together

That we feel for our island
Even though it is small and not perfect
