Kami Bangsa Tausug
Mahardika namaugbug
Limaya daing ha satru
Timindug di' magpapissuku

We are Tausug Nation
Defending independence
Free from the enemies
Stood not to get oppressed

Bangsa namu' namarinta
Sin hula’ namu’ Mahardika
Kiyarapatan wa' daing tagna
Mapasambu namu' na in hula’

Our Nation ruled
Of the country’s independence
Never conquered from then
We shall develop our land

Hula’ Bangsa namu' nabantug
Tampat sin tau maisug
Agama tunggal da in kaput
Misan matay di' da magirup

Our country, nation is known
Home of courageous person
Bound only in one faith
Never care of the death

Tumantangis Dahu puntuk sin hula’ namu'
Pa Bagsak Sinumaan
Paka budburan
Tunggal Tuhan da in angan

Tumantangis, Dahu peaks of our land
To Bagsak, Sinumaan
And to all the mountains here
Only one God is aimed

Zamboanga, Basilan, Uttara Borneo, Palawan
Lupa’ Sug in gi’tungan
Sin pamarinta Sultan
Daing ha kaawal sin jaman

Zamboanga, Basilan, North Borneo, Palawan
Centre is in Sulu land
Ruled by the Sultan
From the early point of time

Bangsa namu' ini tayakkup
Ha ngan sin agama jukup
Tuhan tunggal mahugut
Gawgut di' magpasakup

Our nation is united
In the name of faith is complete
Only God is firm
Determined not to get conquered

Dugu sahid imanud ha ugat sin Bangsa Sug
Nagsabil namaugbug
Panji tiyukag banug
Janji kakkal limantup

Blood of Martyrs flowed in the vein of the Sug Nation
Fought to defend
Flag rose like Vinta strip
Eternal pledge appeared

Hula’ jambangan sin mussa’
Laud Sug dunya tugila
Likusan Satan Uttara
Subangan pa Sadlupan

Land of the pearl garden
Sulu Sea in the world is famous
From the South and North
And East and West
