THE MARINE HYMN
Jimmy King, a Navajo instructor,
translated the Marine Hymn into Navajo:

We have conquered our enemies         Nin hokeh bi-kheh a-na-ih-la
All over the world                                   Ta-al-tso-go na-he-seel-kai
On land and on sea                                Nih-bi-kah-gi do tah kah-gi
Everywhere we fight                               Ta-al-tso-go en-da-de-pah
True and loyal to our duty                      Tsi-di-da-an-ne ne-tay-yah
We are know by that                               Ay be nihe hozeen
United States Marines                            Washindon be Akalh Bi-kosi-la
To be one is a great thing.                      Ji-lengo ba-hozhon

Our flag waves                                         Ni-he da-na-ah-taj ihla
From dawn to setting sun.                       Yel khol-go e-e-ah
We have fought every place                    Day-ne tal-al-tso go enta-she-jah
where we could take a gun                      Tal-tso-go entas-se-pah
From northern lands                                Ha-kaz dineh-ih be-hay-jah
To southern tropic scenes,                      Ado ta aokhek-ash-shen
We are known to be tireless                    Do ni-din-da-hi ol-yeh
The United States Marines                      Washindon be Akalh-bi Khos


... THE LAST VERSE IS SUNG LIKE A PRAYER ...

May we live in peace hereafter             Hozo-go nay-yeltay to
We have conquered all our foes,          A-na-oh bi-keh de-dlihn
No force in the world we cannot            Ni-hi-keh di-dlini ta-etin
conquer,
We know of no fear                                Yeh-wol-ye hi-he a-din
If the Army and the Navy                        Sila-go-tsoi do chah-lakai
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,             Ya-ansh-go das dez e e
