Debout Congolais

I
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.

Refrain:
Citoyens, entonnez l'hymne sacré de votre solidarité,
Fièrement, saluez l'emblème d'or de votre souveraineté, Congo.

II
Don béni, Congo des aïeux Congo,
O pays Congo bien aimé Congo,
Nous peuplerons ton sol et nous assurerons ta grandeur.
Trente juin, o doux soleil, trente juin du trente juin,
Jour sacré, sois le témoin, jour sacré de l'immortel serment de liberté
Que nous léguons à notre postérité pour toujours.

Mkongo aliyesimama, Umoja kwa hatima,
Umoja katika juhudi za uhuru,
Wacha tuinue nyusi zetu zilizopinda kwa muda mrefu
Na kwa uzuri wacha tuchukue kasi nzuri zaidi, kwa amani,
Enyi watu wa moto, kwa kufanya kazi kwa bidii tutajenga nchi nzuri zaidi kuliko hapo awali, kwa amani.

Kwaya:
Wananchi, imbeni wimbo mtakatifu wa mshikamano wenu.
Salamu kwa fahari nembo ya dhahabu ya ukuu wako, Kongo.

Zawadi iliyobarikiwa, (Kongo) kutoka kwa mababu (Kongo),
Ewe nchi (Kongo) mpendwa (Kongo),
Tutajaza udongo wako na kuhakikisha ukuu wako.

(Siku takatifu) Shahidi (siku takatifu) kiapo cha kutokufa cha uhuru
Ili tuwarithisha vizazi vyetu milele.

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 keep moving boldly ahead, in peace.
Oh, ardent people, by hard work we shall build,
In peace, a country more beautiful than before.

Chorus:
Countrymen, sing the sacred hymn of your solidarity,
Proudly salute the golden emblem of your sovereignty, Congo.

II
Blessed gift Congo of our forefathers Congo,
Oh country Congo that we love Congo,
We shall people your soil and ensure your greatness.
30th June, oh gentle sun, 30th June of 30th June,
Sacred day, be witness, sacred day of the immortal oath of freedom
That we hand on to our children for ever.
