Arise, Congolese,
United by fate,
United in the struggle for independence,
Let us hold up our heads, so long bowed,
And now, for good, let us take the grandest step
In peace, O ardent people,
By labour, we shall build a country more beautiful than before.
Citizens, sing the sacred hymn of your solidarity,
Proudly salute the golden emblem of your sovereignty, Congo.

Blessed gift of our forefathers,
O beloved country,
We shall people your soil and ensure your greatness.
Debout Congolais,
Unis par le sort,
Unis dans lâeffort pour lâindĂ©pendance,
Dressons nos fronts longtemps courbés
Et pour de bon prenons le plus bel Ă©lan
Dans la paix,
O peuple ardent,
Par le labeur nous bĂątirons un pays plus beau quâavant
Dans la paix.
