Let us dedicate ourselves to rise together

To defend our liberty and unity

Les victoires remportées pour notre libération.

Engageons-nous et levons-nous comme un seul Homme,

Pour défendre notre liberté et notre unité.

Ô Fils et Filles de l'Afrique,

Faisons de l'Afrique l'Arbre de Vie.

Unissons-nous tous et chantons en cœur,

Pour maintenir les liens qui déterminent notre destin.

Consacrons-nous tous au combat,

Pour la paix durable et la justice sur terre.

Ô Fils et Filles de l'Afrique,

Faisons de l'Afrique l'Arbre de Vie.

Unissons-nous tous et travaillons major,

Afin de donner le meilleur de nous à l'Afrique,

Berceau de l'humanité et source de la culture,

Notre fierté et notre espérance au point du jour.
