Gabon National Anthem in French:
Chorus :
United in Concord and brotherhood
Awake Gabon, an aurora rises,
Encourage the ardor that vibrates and lifts us up!
It is finally our development towards bliss.
It is finally our development towards bliss.
Dazzling and proud, the sublime day rises
Forever chasing injustice and shame.
Let it go up, go up again and calm our alarms,
Let him advocate virtue and reject weapons.
Chorus
Yes that the happy time dreamed of by our ancestors
Finally arrives with us, rejoice the beings,
And chase away the sorcerers, these treacherous deceivers.
Who sowed poison and spread fear.
Chorus
So that in the eyes of the world and friendly nations
Immortal Gabon remains worthy of envy,
Forget our quarrels, let’s build together
The new building that we all dream of.
Chorus
From the shores of the ocean to the heart of the forest,
Let us remain vigilant, without weakness and without hatred!
Around this flag, which towards honor leads us,
Let us salute the Fatherland and sing without stop!
