Madinin'Africa

Friki djamana kan, ayen djeli, bila djona
Sundiata bara na Afriki banko kolo kan allah, ah djama lu, Afriki djamana ka di

Woyooh, nou sé frer é sœur, nou tout di mem famy
Woyooh, nou sé frer é sœur, nou tout di mem famy

C′est notre Nation, notre repère, notre fondation
Grâce à elle, on sait quelle est notre position
Elle représente la Mère des Civilisations
Africa ni Culture, la ni patché vibrations
Solidarité, éducation, elle a assuré pour les Générations
Face à l'Oppression, la Colonisation
Africa pa jan pèd foi, pa jammin béssé bra, I Dread
Bel exemple pou sa ki comprend ke la vi yo Rèd
Couraj vini lè pa rété ayin pou pèd
Africa ka goumin, Maman nou bizouin Aide
Mwen minm palé kitéy Dead

I lé ti bo yoro lon, I lé ti to yoro lon
Ni mogo ma bo yoro lon, I ti ta yoro lon
I lé bo mi Farafina, I bemba ou ko di Farafina

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
