Rai tu mai , rai tu mai

Oi au a viriviri kemu bai
Toa yalewa, toa yalewa,
Veico, veico, veico.

Au moce ga ki domo ni biau
E luvu koto ki ra nomu waqa
O kaya beka au sa luvu sara
Nomu bai e wawa mere
Au tokia ga ka tasere
The Cibi - Fiji's version of the Haka (translation)
Make ready, make ready,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Make ready, make ready
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Look hither, look hither,
I build a breastwork for you,
Look hither, look hither,
I build a breastwork for you
A cock and a hen,
They attack, attack, attack
It is tabu
for me to slumber
Except to the sound of breakers
Your ship is sunk below,
Don't think I'm drowned too.
Your defence is just waiting
To crumble when I prick it
Fijian anthem - God Save the Queen
Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji,
As
we stand united under noble banner blue.
And we honour and defend the cause
of freedom ever,
Onward march together, God bless Fiji!
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring pride,
For Fiji,
ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory to
endure whatever befall
May God bless Fiji, forever more!
Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji,
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song.
Stand united, we
of Fiji, fame and glory ever,
Onward march together, God bless Fiji!
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring pride,
For Fiji,
ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory to
endure whatever befall
May God bless Fiji, forever more!
