 Letra 
Promé  kuplèt

Where over the world, say where,

You find an island there,

So lovely small, with nations free

With people French and Dutch

Though talking English much,

As thee Saint Martin in the sea?

Refan

O sweet Saint Martin's Land

So bright by beach and strand

With sailors on the sea and harbors free

Where the chains of mountains green

Variously in sunlight sheen

Oh I love thy Paradise,

Nature's beauty fairly nice

Oh I love thy Paradise,

Nature's beauty fairly nice

Di dos  kuplèt

How pretty between all green

Flamboyants beaming gleam

Of flowers red by sunlight set

Thy cows and sheep and goats

In meadows or on roads

Thy donkeys keen can't I forget.

Refran

Di tres  kuplèt

Saint Martin I love thy name

In which Columbus fame

And memories of old are those

For me a great delight

Thy Southern Cross the night

May God the Lord protect thy coast!

Refran
