Anthem Lyrics
Against the humiliating bondage of a thousand years, Rapacity came from afar to subjugate them for a hundred years. Against the cynical malice in the shape Of neo-colonialism and its petty local servants. Many gave in and certain others resisted. But the frustrations, the successes, the sweat, the blood Have strengthened our courageous people and fertilised its heroic struggle. And one single night has drawn together The history of an entire people. And one single night has launched its triumphal march. Towards the horizon of good fortune. One single night has brought together our people With all the peoples of the World, In the acquisition of liberty and progress. Motherland or death, we shall conquer.
Contre les fers humiliants il y a plus de mille ans, La rapacité venue de loin les asservir il y a cent ans. Contre la cynique malice métamorphosée En néocolonialisme et ses petits servants locaux. Beaucoup flanchèrent et certains résistèrent. Mais les frustrations, les succès, la sueur, le sang Ont fortifié nos peuples courageux et fertilisé sa lutte héroïque. Et une seule nuit a rassemblée L'histoire d'un peuple tout entier, Et une seule nuit a déclenché sa marche triomphale Vers l'horizon du bonheur. Une seule nuit a réconcilié notre peuple Avec tous les peuples du monde, Dans la conquête de la liberté et du progrès Patrie ou la mort, nous vaincrons !
