| Pincez tous vos koras, frappez les balafons. Le lion rouge a rugi. Le dompteur de la brousse D’un bond s’est élancé, Dissipant les ténèbres. Soleil sur nos terreurs, soleil sur notre espoir. Debout, frères, voici l’Afrique rassemblée Fibres de mon cœur vert. Épaule contre épaule, mes plus que frères, O Sénégalais, debout! Unissons la mer et les sources, unissons la steppe et la forêt!Salut Afrique mère, salut Afrique mère. | Everyone strum your koras, strike the balafons. The red lion has roared. The tamer of the savannah Has leapt forward, Dispelling the darkness. Sunlight on our terrors, sunlight on our hope. Stand up, brothers, here is Africa assembled. Fibres of my green heart, Shoulder to shoulder, my more-than-brothers, O Senegalese, arise! Join sea and springs, join steppe and forest! Hail mother Africa, hail mother Africa. |
