Wisao ehakihesak
Chàkinkwèmikte ama'nkahte:ne
Hukweyunk shae'im xinkwi shinke'k
Kikeyuyemenaninkahke
Lenapehokink Lenapehokink
Onkuntuwakan
Nulamhitamawananak
Wemi kitahikan ok she:wampi!
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Another way to sing this with more honor for the Ancestors:
Welakamike kikayu Ye:me:naninkahke
Nuhuma Tuxok Menatay ok
Muhumsa Welexen
Ente wehinkiankw
Nulamhitamawananak
ok Welankutuwakan
Etehole Lenapehokink
Literal translation:
Beautiful land of our Ancestors,
Grandmother Turtle Island and
Grandfather Good Winds
our ancient homelands
of Peace and Friendship
We love Lenapeland
