Congo National Anthem English Translation


Congo (since 1991)

Original French Words

En ce jour, le soleil se lève

Et notre Congo resplendit

Une longue nuit s'achève

Un grand bonheur a surgi

Chantons tous avec ivresse

Le chante de la liberté.

CHORUS

Congolais debout fièrement partout

Proclamons l'union de notre nation

Oublions ce qui nous divise

Soyons plus unis que jamais

Vivons pour notre devise

Unité, Travail, Progrès.

(repeat previous two lines)

Des forêts jusqu'à la savane

Des savanes jusqu'à la mer

Un seul peuple une seule âme

Un seul cœur ardent et fier

Luttons tous tant que nous sommes

Pour notre vieux pays noir.

CHORUS

Et s'il nous faut mourir en somme

Qu'importe pulsque nos enfants

Partout pourront dire comme

On triomphe en combatant

Et dans le moindre village

Chantent sous nos trois couleurs.

CHORUS

English Translation

On this day the sun rises

And our Congo stands resplendent.

A long night is ended,

A great happiness has come.

Let us all, with wild joyfulness, sing

The song of freedom.

CHORUS

Arise, Congolese, proud every man,

Proclaim the unity of our nation.

Let us forget what divides us

And become more united than ever.

Let us live our motto:

Unity, work, progress.

(repeat previous two lines)

From the forest to the bush,

From the bush to the ocean,

One people, one soul,

One heart, ardent and proud.

Let us all fight, every one of us,

For our old black country.

CHORUS

And if we have to die,

What does it really matter? Our children

Everywhere will be able to say how

Triumph comes through battle,

And in the smallest village

Sing beneath our three colours.

CHORUS

(1962)

Zairois dans la paix retrouvee
Peuple uni, nous sommes Zairois
En avant fier et plein de dignite
Peuple grand, peuple libre a jamais
Tricolore enflamme nous du feu sacre
Pour batir notre pays toujours plus beau
Autour d'un fleuve majeste
Autour d'un fleuve majeste

Tricolore au vent ravive l'ideal
Qui nous relie aux aieux a nos enfants
Paix, justice et travail
Paix, justice et travail
