American Samoa
You are my beloved country
Your name I shan't search for
You are my hope

You are the pearl of the Pacific
That is the lure of the five islands
Your customs and legends
are well known

Tutuila and Manu'a
Stand up and be counted
𝄆 Serve and bow down to your country
Let it be blessed and grow
American Samoa
The land of the free 𝄇
