Lyrics
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa minha, Africa nossa
Céu ja clareá
Consciença ja desanuviá
Ja tchiga hora, pa enfrentá realidade
Um povo sofredor
Ja calmá sê dor
Pa’l bem vivê, na paz e na progresso
Si nô tiver fê
Na nôs capacidade
Mâe Africa, ta ser feliz um dia
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa minha, Africa nossa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Berço di mundo, continente fecundo
Diguenté Sénégal ak Cap-Vert mané soréwoul
Soumeu yeugone né niari rewyi ben-la
Sama guente bi magni gnane Yallah wone ma ko Africa done bene rew n’dakhe yadi sounou Yaye
Africa Africa Africa
Jamma gna yendoo jamma gné fanaan
Africa Africa Africa
Jamma gna yello jamma gné fanaan
Céu ja clareá
Consciença ja desanuviá
Ja tchiga hora, pa enfrentá realidade
Um povo sofredor
Ja calmá sê dor
Pa’l bem vivê, na paz e na progresso
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa minha, Africa nossa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Berço di mundo, continente fecundo
Domou Africa na niou bolo té djapanté

TRADUCTION
Afrique, Afrique, Afrique,
Mon Afrique, notre Afrique
Le ciel s’est éclairci
La conscience s’est éveillée
L’heure est venue d’affronter la réalité,
Un peuple qui a souffert
A calmé sa douleur
Pour vivre enfin dans la paix et le progrès
Si nous avons la foi
Dans nos capacités
Notre Mère Afrique sera heureuse un jour…
