The Fiji National Anthem
Fijian people are extremely musical which makes it a pleasure to hear them sing the Fiji National Anthem. There is both an English and Fijian version of their anthem. The melody is based on an old traditional song. The words for each are below.
ENGLISH VERSION 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 with pride.
For Fiji ever Fiji her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom , hope and glory to endure what ever 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.
