English lyrics
My island (heart) lies o'er the ocean;
Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;
With a (the) light of Mekar from far above;
Shining the with the brilliance of rays of life;
Our Father's wondrous creation;
Bequeathed to us, our Motherland;
I'll never leave my dear home sweet home;
God of our forefathers protect and bless forever Marshall Islands.

Spanish explorer Alonso de Salazar was the first European to sight the Marshalls in 1526, but the islands remained virtually unvisited by Europeans for several more centuries, before being visited by English captain John Marshall in 1788; the islands owe their name to him.
In 1979 the Republic of the MarshallIslands was established and a Compact of Free Association with the U.S. government was signed, becoming effective in 1986.
The MarshallIslands are divided into 24 legislative districts, which correspond to the inhabited islands and atolls of the country.
