English translation
- CHORUS:
- United in concord and brotherhood,
- Awake, Gabon, dawn is at hand.
- Stir up the spirit that thrills and inspires us!
- At last we rise up to attain happiness.
- Dazzling and proud, the sublime day dawns,
- Dispelling for ever injustice and shame.
- May it still advance and calm our fears,
- May it promote virtue and banish warfare.
- CHORUS
- Yes, may the happy days of which our ancestors dreamed
- Come for us at last, rejoicing our hearts,
- And banish the sorcerers, those perfidious deceivers
- Who sowed poison and spread fear.
- CHORUS
- So that, in the eyes of the world and of friendly nations,
- The immortal Gabon may maintain her good repute,
- Let us forget our quarrels, let us build together
- The new structure of which we all have dreamed.
- CHORUS
- From the shores of the Ocean to the heart of the forest,
- Let us remain vigilant, without weakness and without hatred!
- Around this flag which leads us to honour,
- Let us salute the Fatherland and ever sing!
- CHORUS
