Salut Ô terre d'espérance;

Pays de l'hospitalité.

Tes légions remplies de vaillance

Ont relevé ta dignité.

Tes fils, chère Côte d'Ivoire,

Fiers artisans de ta grandeur,

Tous rassemblés pour ta gloire

Te bâtiront dans le bonheur.

Fiers Ivoiriens, le pays nous appelle.

Si nous avons dans la paix ramené la liberté,

Notre devoir sera d'être un modèle

De l'espérance promise à l'humanité,

En forgeant, unie dans la foi nouvelle,

La patrie de la vraie fraternité

We salute you, O land of hope,

Country of hospitality;

Thy full gallant legions

Have restored thy dignity.

Beloved Ivory Coast, thy sons,

Of the hope promised to humanity,

In building, united in the new faith

The homeland of true brotherhood.
