Grâce à elle, on sait quelle est notre position

Solidarité, éducation, elle a assuré pour les Générations
Face à l'Oppression, la Colonisation

Africa, Mother Land

In the land of the free, the griot sings, the drum resonates
Sundiata Keita, on the banks of the Niger River, oh God, oh people, Africa is our land

Woyooh, we are brothers and sisters, we are all from the same family
Woyooh, we are brothers and sisters, we are all from the same family

This is our Nation, our shelter, our foundation
Thanks to her, we know where we stand
She represents the Mother of Civilizations
Africa is Culture, she is the cradle of vibrations
Solidarity, education, she has provided for Generations
In the face of Oppression, Colonization
Africa never lost faith, never lowered her arms, I Dread
Beautiful example for those who understand that life is tough
Courage comes when there is nothing left to lose
Africa is fighting, Our Mother needs Help
Me, I'm talking, so don't play Dead

The land of Africa, oh my friend, may I remind you of something
The land of Africa, Africa, oh my brothers, the land of Africa
It's a shame, the land of Africa
Far from you, oh my people, who made me cry so much

Africa / I won't be silent, I will speak out
Martinique / We are the children of the earth
Africa / I won't be silent, I will speak out
Martinique / We are the children of the earth

I am your child of yesterday, I am your child of today
There are people of yesterday, I am a child of yesterday
I am your child of Africa, I am your child of Africa
