Mali

Original French Words

A ton appel, Mali,

Pour ta prosp�rit�

Fid�le � ton destin

Nous seron tous unis,

Un peuple, un but, une foi.

Pour une Afrique unie

Si l'ennemi d�couvre son front

Au dedans ou au dehors

Debout sur les remparts

Nous sommes r�solus de mourir.

Pour l'Afrique et pour toi, Mali

Notre drapeau sera libert�.

Pour l'Afrique et pour toi, Mali

Notre combat sera unit�.

O Mali d'aujourd'hui,

O Mali, de demain

Les champs fleurissent d'esp�rance,

Les c�urs vibren de confidance.


Debout, villes et campagnes,

Debout, femmes, jeunes et vieux

Pour la Patrie en marche

Vers l'avenir radeiux

Pour notre dignit�.

Renfor�ons bien nos rangs,

Pour le salut public

Forgeons le bien commun

Ensemble, au coude � coude

Faisons le chantier du bonheur.


CHORUS


La voie est dure, tr�s dure

Qui m�ne au bonheur commun

Courage et d�vouement,

Vigilance � tout moment,

(repeat previous two lines)

V�rit� des temps anciens,

V�rit� des tous les jours,

Le bonheur par le labeur

Fera la Mali de demain.


CHORUS


L'Afrique se l�ve enfin

Saluons ce jour nouveau.

Saluons la libert�,

Marchons ver l'unit�.

Dignit� retrouv�e

Soutient notre combat.

Fidel�s � notre serment

De faire l'Afrique unie

Ensemble, debout mes fr�res

Tous au rendez-vous de l'honneur.


CHORUS



English:

At your call, Mali,

So that you may prosper,

Faithful to your destiny,

We shall all be united,

One people, one goal, one faith

For a united Africa.

If the enemy should show himself

Within or without,

On the ramparts,

We are ready to stand and die.


CHORUS

For Africa and for you, Mali,

Our banner shall be liberty.

For Africa and for you, Mali,

Our fight shall be for unity.

Oh, Mali of today,

Oh, Mali of tomorrow,

The fields are flowering with hope

And hearts are thrilling with confidence.


Stand up, towns and countryside,

Stand up, women, stand up young and old,

For the Fatherland on the road

Towards a radiant future.

For the sake of our dignity

Let us strengthen our ranks;

For the public well-being

Let us forge the common good.

Together, shoulder to shoulder,

Let us work for happiness.


CHORUS


The road is hard, very hard,

That leads to common happiness.

Courage and devotion,

Constant vigilance,

(repeat previous two lines)

Truth from olden times,

The truths of every day,

Happiness through effort

Will build the Mali of tomorrow.


CHORUS


Africa is at last arising,

Let us greet this new day.

Let us greet freedom,

Let us march towards unity.

Refound dignity

Supports our struggle.

Faithful to our oath

To make a united Africa,

Together, arise, my brothers,

All to the place where honour calls.
