Land of work and joy in unity,

Victors in the struggle for the right,

We have won freedom's fight.

All one, strong and free.

Uwasenaminwa na Lesa,

Fashion'd with and blessed by God's good hand,

Let us all her people join as one,

Brothers under the sun.

Dignity and peace 'neath Zambia's sky,

Like our noble eagle in its flight,
