Original French lyrics
- Zaïrois dans la paix retrouvée,
- Peuple uni, nous sommes Zaïrois
- En avant fier et plein de dignité
- Peuple grand, peuple libre à jamais
- Tricolore, enflamme nous du feu sacré
- Pour bâtir notre pays toujours plus beau
- Autour d'un fleuve Majesté (2×)
- Tricolore au vent, ravive l'idéal
- Qui nous relie aux aïeux, à nos enfants
- Paix, justice et travail. (2×)
English translation
- Zairians, dwell in peace,
- United people, we are Zairians;
- Moving forward, proud and dignified.
- Great people, free people forever.
- Tricolored flag, light in us the sacred flame,
- In order to always build a beautiful country,
- Around the majestic river;
- Around the majestic river.
- Tricolored flag in the wind, revive the ideal,
- Which links us to our ancestors and our children,
- Peace, justice, and labor;
- Peace, justice, and labor.
