"South Sudan Oyee!" är Sydsudans nationalsång. Nationalsången valdes av South Sudan National Anthem Committee ur Sudanesiska folkets befrielsearmé[2] efter lanseringen av en tävling för att hitta en nationalsång i augusti 2010. Detta föregicks av folkomröstningen om självständighet i januari 2011 som ledde till att Sydsudan blev en suverän stat den 9 juli 2011.[3] "Oyee!" översätts som "Hurra!"[1]

South Sudan Oyee!

Oh God,
We praise and glorify You
for Your grace on South Sudan,
Land of great abundance
uphold us united in peace and harmony.


Oh motherland,
we rise raising flag with the guiding star
and sing songs of freedom with joy,
for justice, liberty and prosperity
shall forever more reign.


Oh great patriots,
let us stand up in silence and respect,
saluting our martyrs whose blood
cemented our national foundation,
we vow to protect our Nation


Oh God, bless South Sudan.
