| Debout Congolais, Unis par le sort Unis dans l’effort pour l’indépendance. Dressons nos fronts, longtemps courbés Et pour de bon prenons le plus bel élan, Dans la paix O peuple ardent Par le labeur Nous bâtirons un pays plus beau qu’avant Dans la paix Citoyens Entonnez l’hymne sacré de votre solidarité Fièrement Saluez l’emblème d’or de votre souveraineté Congo! Don béni, Congo! Des aïeux, Congo! Ô pays, Congo! Bien aimé, Congo! Nous peuplerons ton sol et nous assurerons ta grandeur Trente juin, ô doux soleil Trente juin, du trente juin Jour sacré, soit le témoin, Jour sacré, de l’immortel Serment de liberté que nous léguons à notre postérité Pour toujours |
