You'll 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.

CHORUS

O sweet Saint-Martin's land So bright by beach and sand,

With sailors on the sea and harbors free,

Where the chains of mountains green,

Variously in sunlight sheen,

O I love my paradise nature's beauty fairly nice.

How pretty between all green,

Flamboyants beaming gleam,

Her flowers red by sunlight set,

Thy cows and sheep and goats,

In meadows or on roads,

Thy donkeys keen,

Can't I forget!

CHORUS

Saint-martin I love thy name,

In which Columbus fame,

And memories of old are close,

For me a great delight,

Thy southern cross by night,

May god the lord protect thy coast.
