🎤 Anthem (Vocal)
We salute you, O land of hope,
Country of hospitality;
Thy valiant legions
Have restored thy dignity.
Beloved Ivory Coast, thy sons,
Proud builders of thy greatness,
All gathered together for thy glory,
In joy will build thee.
Proud citizens of the Ivory Coast, the country calls us.
If we have brought back liberty peacefully,
Our duty will be to be an example
Of the hope promised to humanity.
Salut Ô terre d’espérance;
Pays de l’hospitalité.
Tes légions remplies de vaillance
Ont relevé ta dignité.
Tes fils, chère Côte d’Ivoire,
Fiers artisans de ta grandeur,
Tous rassemblés pour ta gloire
Te bâtiront dans le bonheur.
Fiers Ivoiriens, le pays nous appelle.
Si nous avons dans la paix
Ramené la liberté,
Notre devoir sera d’être un modèle
De l’espérance promise à l’humanité.
