ChorusPapiamento Lyrics
Aruba patria aprecia
nos cuna venera
chikito y simpel bo por ta
pero si respeta.
O, Aruba, dushi tera
nos baranca tan stima
nos amor p’abo t’asina grandi
cu n’tin nada pa kibre (repeat)
cu palma tur dorna
bo escudo y bandera ta
orgullo di nos tur!
su gran cordialidad
cu Dios por guia y conserva
su amor pa libertad!
