| 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. | |

| 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. |
