Meda Dau Doka or God Bless Fiji is the national anthem of Fiji. The lyrics and music were composed by Michael Francis Alexander Prescott and adopted upon independence in 1970.

English lyrics

Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji

As we stand united under noble banner blue

And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever

Onward march together God bless Fiji

CHORUS:

For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride.

For Fiji ever Fiji her name hail far and wide,

A land of freedom, hope and glory to endure what ever befall.

May God bless Fiji

Forever more!

Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji

Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song

Stand united, we of Fiji, fame and glory ever

Onward march together God bless Fiji.

Fijian lyrics

Meda dau doka ka vinakata na vanua

E ra sa dau tiko kina na savasava

Rawa tu na gauna ni sautu na veilomani

Biu na i tovo tawa savasava

CHORUS:

Me bula ga ko Viti

Ka me toro ga ki liu

Me ra turaga vinaka ko ira na i liuliu

Me ra liutaki na tamata

E na veika vinaka

Me oti kina na i tovo ca

Me da dau doka ka vinakata na vanua

E ra sa dau tiko kina na savasava

Rawa tu na gauna ni sautu na veilomani

Me sa biu na i tovo tawa yaga

Bale ga vei kemuni na cauravou e Viti

Ni yavala me savasava na vanua

Ni kakua ni vosota na dukadukali

Ka me da sa qai biuta vakadua
