Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey,
To serve our fatherland with love and strength and faith.
The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain,
To serve with heart and might, one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.
Amen, amen!
VERSE 2
Kulienu ndi alanyi, zaa oku Nigeria,
K'anyi jeeb'ozi n'okwukwe n'ike, n'ihunanya.
K'ike ndi odogwu anyi kpara ghara ila n'iyi,
J'obi n'ike jee ozi otu obodo nwe onweya udo, n'adi n'otu.
Amen, amen!

Mu yim aikin zuciya daya, ga kasar da hadin kai da salama ya hadu.
Amen, amen!

Kafife sinlewa kpelu'okun atigbagbo.
Ki se'anwa akoni te koja, komase jasason,
Kasin tokan tokan, pelu ife, orile ede kan, ti o ni irepo.
Amen, amen!
