Hino da República Democrática do Congo

Arise, Congolese

Arise, Congolese
United by fate
United in effort for independence
Let us hold our heads
Long bowed
And for good

Let us take
The most beautiful momentum
In peace

O fervent People
Through labor
We will build a country more beautiful than before
In peace

Citizens
Sing
The sacred anthem of your solidarity

Proudly
Salute
The golden emblem of your sovereignty

Congo

Blessed gift, Congo
Of the ancestors, Congo
O Country, Congo
Beloved, Congo

We will populate your soil
And we will ensure your greatness

June thirtieth, O sweet sun
June thirtieth, of June thirtieth
Sacred day, be the witness
Sacred day of the immortal oath of freedom

That we bequeath
To our posterity

Forever
