Teirake Kaini Kiribati

(Stand, Kiribati)


Original I-Kiribati Words

Teirake kaini Kiribati,

Anene ma te kakatonga,

Tauraoi nakon te nwioko,

Ma ni buokia aomata,

Tauaninne n te raoiroi,

Tangiria aoma ta nako.

Tauani nne n te raoiroi,

Tangiria aomata.


Reken te kabaia ma te rau

Ibuakoia kaaiin abara

Bon reken te nano ae banin

Ma te i-tangitangiri naba.

Ma ni wakina te kab'aia,

Ma n neboa i eta abara.

Ma ni wakina te kab'aia,

Ma n neboa abara.


Ti butiko ngkoe Atuara

Kawakinira ao kairira

Nakon taai aika i maira.

Buokira ni baim ae akoi.

Kakabaia ara Tautaeka

Ma ake a makuri iai.

Kaka baia ara Tautaeka

Ma aomata ni bane.
