Original Lyrics in French
Peuple d’Afrique! Le Passé historique!
Que chante l’hymne de la Guinée fière et jeune
Illustre epopée de nos frères
Morts au champ d’honneur en libérant l’Afrique!
Le peuple de Guinée, prêchant l’unité,
Appelle l’Afrique.
Liberté! C’est la voix d’un peuple
Qui appelle tous ses frères à se retrouver.
Liberté! C’est la voix d’un peuple
Qui appelle tous ses frères de la grande Afrique.
Bâtissons l’unité africaine dans l’indépendance retrouvée.
Chorus:
Liberté! Liberté!
C’est la voix d’un peuple
Qui appelle tous ses frères à se retrouver.
Liberté! Liberté!
C’est la voix d’un peuple
Qui appelle tous ses frères de la grande Afrique.
