Papiamento Lyrics

Aruba patria aprecia

nos cuna venera

Chikito y simpel bo por ta

pero si respeta.
''chorus:''

O, Aruba, dushi tera

nos baranca tan stima

Nos amor p’abo t’asina grandi

cu n’tin nada pa kibr'e,
cu'n tin nada pa kibr'e.
Bo playanan tan admira

cu palma tur dorna

Bo escudo y bandera ta

orguyo di nos tur!
''chorus''
Grandeza di bo pueblo ta

su gran cordialidad

Cu Dios por guia y conserva

su amor pa libertad!
''Chorus''

English Translation

Aruba our apreciated home

our venerated cradle

though small and simple you may be

but you are respected.
''Chorus:''

Aruba our dear country

our rock so well beloved

our love for you is so strong

that nothing can destroy it. ''(repeat)''
Your beaches so much admired

with palm trees all adorned

your coat of arms and flag

is the proudness of our all!
''Chorus''
The greatness of our people

is their great cordiality

and may God guide and preserve

his love for freedom!
''Chorus''
