Tangu tila ta gaduwa harimwa sowa ta bahari-
Verse 1
A tẹrẹ, Kalma ya danyi,
Fidat ya bẹrka am dapi,
Agwan sukwa njiya am kalma-ni,
Bahari sukwa kowa iko-ni.
A sariya taurari, a sariya fufun,
Sawa-ni nbe harimwa am ta sapa.
Verse 2
Tangu tila ta gaduwa harimwa sowa ta bahari,
Girma ta Ubangidzi ya cika dunya,
Hikima-ni ya panga dunya katu duka,
Ya njiya kila abu ha daradza-ni.
Harimwa fidat ya dji tondza na launi,
Ri dji njiya kauna ta Mai-zane ya dji kusa.
Verse 1
In the beginning, spoke the Word,
And light burst forth from endless night,
The mountains rose at what was heard,
The seas obeyed His sovereign might.
Each star He placed, each flower He grew,
His fingerprints in morning dew.
Verse 2
From eagle's flight to ocean's roar,
The Lord God's glory fills the earth,
His wisdom crafted shore to shore,
And breathed into all things their worth.
In every sunset's painted sky,
We see the Artist's love draw nigh.
