French lyricsSalut ô terre d'espérance;
Pays de l'hospitalité. Tes légions remplies de
vaillance Ont relevé ta dignité.
Tes fils, chère Côte d'Ivoire, Fiers artisans de ta grandeur,
Tous rassemblés pour ta gloire
Te bâtiront dans le bonheur. Fiers Ivoiriens, le pays nous
appelle. Si nous avons dans la paix
ramené la liberté, Notre devoir sera d'être un
modèle De l'espérance promise à
l'humanité, En forgeant, unie dans la foi
nouvelle, La patrie de la vraie fraternité
English translationWe salute thee, land of hope,
Country of hospitality; Thy gallant legions
Have restored thy dignity. Beloved Ivory Coast, thy sons,
Proud builders of thy greatness, All gathered together for thy glory,
In joy will construct thee. Proud citizens of the Ivory Coast,
the country calls us. If we have brought back liberty
peacefully, It will be our duty to be an example Of the hope promised to humanity,
Forging, united in new faith, The homeland of true brotherhood.
