"Udzima wa ya Masiwa" (also written "Ouzima wa Massiwa", Comorian for "The Union of the Great Islands"; also known as "Umodja wa Massiwa", sometimes written "Masiwa") is the national anthem of the Comoros. Adopted in 1978, it was written by Said Hachim Sidi Abderemane, who also composed the music with Kamildine Abdallah.

Mayotte (claimed by the Comoros but under French administration) is also mentioned in the song.

History

The anthem replaced a previous anthem titled "Ungwana" ("Liberty"), also known as "Comor Masiwa Mane" ("Four Comorian Islands"), adopted in 1976 under the Ali Soilih administration following a competition won by writer and musician Abou Chihabi. It was used until 1978, when a coup by Ahmed Abdallah and Bob Denard took place.

Beramu isi pepeza I nadi ukombozi piya Ye daula ivenuha Hasibabu yahe dini voya tsangaya hunu Komoriya Narikeni yamahaba ya huvendza ya masiwa yatru Wasiwa Komoro damu ndzima Wasiwa Komoro dini ndzima Ya masiwa razaliwa Ya masiwa yarileya Mola nde yari sayidiya Narike niya ndzima Rivendze uwatwaniya Mahaba ya dini na duniya. Beramu isi pepeza Rangu mwezi sita wa Juiye Ye daula ivenuha Zisiwa zatru zi katruha Maoré na Ndzuani, Mwali na Ngazidja Narikeni yamahaba ya huvendza ya masiwa.

IPA transcription

Beramu isi pepeza
I nadi ukombozi piya
Ye daula ivenuha
Hasibabu yahe dini voya tsangaya hunu Komoriya
Narikeni yamahaba ya huvendza ya masiwa yatru

Wasiwa Komoro damu ndzima
Wasiwa Komoro dini ndzima
Ya masiwa razaliwa
Ya masiwa yarileya
Mola nde yari sayidiya
Narike niya ndzima
Rivendze uwatwaniya
Mahaba ya dini na duniya.

Beramu isi pepeza
Rangu mwezi sita wa Juiye
Ye daula ivenuha
Zisiwa zatru zi katruha
Maoré na Ndzuani, Mwali na Ngazidja
Narikeni yamahaba ya huvendza ya masiwa.

Au faîte le Drapeau flotte Apelle à la Liberté totale. La nation apparaît, Force d'une même religion au sein des Comores. Vivons dans l'amour réciproque dans nos îles. Les Comoriens issus de même sang, Nous embrassons la même idéologie religieuse. Les îles où nous somme nés ! Les îles qui nous ont prodigué la bonne éducation. Dieu y a apporté son aide. Conservons notre unité pour l'amour le patrie, Amour pour la religion Et pour l'évolution. Au faîte le Drapeau flotte Depuis le 6 du mois de juillet La nation apparaît, Les îles devenues souveraines; Maore - N'Dzouani - Mouwali - et N'Gazidja. Gardons notre amour pour les îles.	العلم يرفرف ليعلن الإستقلال التام ترتقي الأمة بسبب إيماننا في جزرنا القمرية دعنا نتحلى بالإخلاص لحب جزرنا العظيمة نحن القمريون من دم ٍ واحد نحن القمريون من إيمانٍ واحد على هذه الجزر قد ولدنا هذه الجزر قد رعتنا نرجوا من الله مساعدتنا دائماً لحب أرضنا الأم ولحب ديننا والعالم العلم يرفرف من السادس من يوليو ترتقي الأمة جزرنا موحدة ماوري وأنزون موهيلي والقمر دعنا نتحلى بالإخلاص لحب جزرنا العظيمة	The flag is flying, Announcing total independence; The nation rises up Because of the faith we have in our Comoros. Let us always have devotion to love our Great Islands. We Comorians are of one blood, We Comorians are of one faith. On these Islands we were born, These Islands brought us up. May God always help us; Let us always have the firm resolve To love our fatherland, Love our religion and the world. The flag is flying. From the Sixth of July The Nation rises up; Our Islands are lined up. Mayotte and Anjouan, Moheli and N'Gazidja, Let us always have devotion to love our Great Islands.
