Sarawak negeriku berdaulat merdeka
Rakyatnya hidup teguh bersatu padu
Semua berazam terus berkhidmat pada negara
Sentiasa maju pertiwi
Bahagialah tanah airku
Sarawak negeri yang ku cinta ku puja
Untukmu ku rela korban jiwa raga
Abadikan Sarawak ya Tuhan dalam Malaysia
Sarawak, my land, sovereign and free
Where the people live united
All of them are dedicated to serve the country
Always progress my Motherland
Be happy my homeland
Sarawak, the land I love and adore
To you will I give my life
May God keep Sarawak in Malaysia

Lyrics
Fair Land Sarawak
We will never cease to honour thee
And with our loyal sons defend your liberty
From you high forest hills, Down to the open sea
May freedom ever reign Men live in unity
Proudly our Flag flies high above our country strong and free
One vinyl record of it is on permanent exhibition by the Brooke Heritage Trust managed by Margaret's great great grandson Jason at the Kuching Old Courthouse.[3]
Lyrics
Gone forth beyond the sea To clime... as yet unknown, Where calls are made for thee, To bear the sword and crown.
Advance, God speed, to save, Creatures in jungles deep, God's hand shall help the brave, Tho'man's may rest in sleep, Let Justice signalise, And ev'..ry voice resound, Who by the Eastern crown'd.
Tho'past and gone in light, Thy name is still renownd, And as a chief in might, Thy deeds are ever crown'd, Let echoing vales redound, By mountain, crag and nook, Sing loud with joyous sound, God Bless the Rajah Brooke.
