Mèci bon Dié, | |
Gadé tout ça la natu poté pou nous. | |
Mèci bon Dié, | |
Gadé couman la mizè fini pou nous. | |
La pli tombé, | |
Mai poussé, | |
Toute ti moune qui grand gout pralé mangé. | |
An nous dansé Congo, | |
An nous dansé Pétro, | |
Papa bon Dié di nan ciel la mizè fini pou nous. | |
English Translation: | |
Thank you, God, | |
Look at all that nature has brought us. | |
Thank you, God, | |
Look how misery has ended for us. | |
The rain has fallen, | |
The corn has grown, | |
All the children that were hungry are going to eat. | |
Let's dance the Congo, | |
Let's dance the Petro, | |
God said in Heaven | |
That misery has ended for us. |
Me ci bon Die, | |
Gade tout a la natu pote pou nous. | |
Me ci bon Die, | |
Gade couman la mize fini pou nous. | |
La pli tombe, | |
Mai pousse, | |
Toute ti moune qui grand gout prale mange. | |
An nous danse Congo, | |
An nous danse Pe tro, | |
Papa bon Die di nan ciel la mize fini pou nous. | |
