French lyrics
- Peuple Tchadien, debout et à l'ouvrage!
- Tu as conquis la terre et ton droit;
- Ta liberté naîtra de ton courage.
- Lève les yeux, l'avenir est à Toi.
- O mon Pays, que Dieu te prenne en garde,
- Que tes voisins admirent tes enfants.
- Joyeux, pacifique, avance en chantant,
- Fidèle à tes anciens te regardent.
- Peuple Tchadien, debout et à l'ouvrage!
- Tu as conquis la terre et ton droit;
- Ta liberté naîtra de ton courage.
- Lève les yeux, l'avenir est à Toi.
English translation
- People of Chad, arise and take up the task!
- You have conquered the soil and won your rights;
- Your freedom will be born of your courage.
- Lift up your eyes, the future is yours
- Oh, my Country, may God protect you,
- May your neighbours admire your children.
- Joyful, peaceful, advance as you sing,
- Faithful to your fathers who are watching you.
