Lyrics
Tera di Solo i suave bientu
Patria orguyoso Sali foi laman
Pueblo humilde i sèmper kontentu
Di un kondukta tur parti gaba
Pues lage nos trata tur dia
Pa sèmper nos Boneiru ta menta
Pa nos kanta den bon armonia
Dushi Boneiru nos tera stima
Laga nos tur como Boneiriano
Uni nos kanto i alsa nos bos
Nos ku ta yiu di un pueblo sano
Sèmper contentu sperando den Dios
Ningun poder no por kita e afekto
Ku nos ta sinti pa e isla di nos
Maske chikitu ku su defekto
Nos ta stimele ariba tur kos
Translation
Country of sun and gentle breeze,
Proud country arose from the sea
Humble people, always satisfied
Itself always bravely keeping out
Let us try each day,
Bonaire confessed make
And we sing in good harmony:
Delicious Bonaire, our beloved fatherland
Laar our only as Bonaireanen,
All sing and our votes raise
We, as children of a healthy race,
Always happy, believing in God
No strength can us decrease this love,
Such as we that feel for our island
In spite of that it is small and not perfect
We keep of it above everything.
