Inuit Nunaat

Qangarsuaq tikippavut
Nunat uku najukkavut
Pisuussutaat atorpavut
Pissaaneqarfigalugit!
Kingulitta pissaraat
Siulitta attataat
Inuit nunagaat
Pigissavaat qaqugumut!
Pigissavaat qaqugumut!
Pigissavaat qaqugumut!
 
Tikikkujaallu qablunaat
Eqqullugu inuusertik
Illernartut tusaattaraat
Sunniiniartuarlutik!
Naalagaasa peqquvaat
Nunavut aqussagaat
Pisuussutaat tigussagaat
Tunissagaat qulaalluta!
Tunissagaat qulaalluta!
Tunissagaat qulaalluta!

Inuit nunagaat
Aqussavaat ataatsimut
Pigissaavaat qaqugummut!
Pigissaavaat qaqugummut!
Pigissaavaat qaqugummut!

Lands of the people

A long time ago we reached the lands
Where we now live
The rich nature fed us
And it was where we gained our strength
What our forefathers possessed
Our descendants will inherit
They are the Lands of the People
They must remain in the possession of the people
They must remain in the possession of the people
They must remain in the possession of the people
 
Then they came, those whose eyes are different
Introduced their way of life
They taught their holy scriptures
And wanted to influence everything
Their crowned heads
Bid them to rule our lands
Take our riches
And sell them over our heads
And sell them over our heads
And sell them over our heads
 
To you whom we have elected
We've been asleep
As a united people we will rise again
What our forefathers possessed
Our descendants must inherit
They are the Lands of the People
They should be governed as one
They must remain in the people's possession
They must remain in the people's possession
