Sal�t O Terre d'Esp�rance

English Translation

We salute you, O Land of Hope

Country of Hospitality;

Your legions full of bravery

Have enhanced your dignity.

Dear C�te d'Ivoire, your sons,

Proud builders of your greatness,

All together and for your glory,

Shall, in joy, build you up.

Proud Ivorians

The Country needs us.

If, in Peace we have

Brought liberty back,

Our duty is to be a model

Of the Hope promised to Humanity,

In forging united in the new faith

The fatherland of true brotherhood.
