Beautiful Africa

Codowari kèlè mi wilila
O kô kèla nimissa
M'badén laguinè ka ou ka kèlè
O kô kèla nimissa
Congozaïr kaou bè kèlè mina
A kô bè kè nimissa
Kèlè magni dé
Doussou magni dé
O manssa ba
Né son soumaya la n'ga doussou mara yé
Malien ou an ka doussou dabila
O kô dé yé nimissa
Nion néni ni nion boniabaliya kô dé yé nimissa
Kèlè ba ni nion landjaba
O kô dé yé nimissa
Kèlè magni dé
Doussou magni dé
O manssa ba
Né son soumaya la n'ga doussou mara yé
Anga politiki môkô ou ka bènbaliya tè famou dé
Bèn baliya koun mana kè nanfolo koyé
A tè famou dé
Bènbaliya koun mana kè djôyôrô ko yé
A tè famou dé
Combines fratricides
Bonnes intentions destructrices
Le grand Mali chavire accablé
Assises altérées, arrimages brisés
Le flot de mes larmes s'emballe
Ardente est ma peine
Dans mes veines d'Afro-progressiste
Le sang Bambara chargé d'espoir brûle
À contre jour mon hardiesse persiste
À contre courant mes convictions résistent
Je crois en la sagesse et l'intégrité
L'assurance, la dignité, et l'humilité
Grandissantes dans le cœur de tes enfants
Par la justesse de leurs actes
Par leur union et leur constance
Connivence et respect mutuel
Ils te soulageront des maux qui te rongent
Je t'aime Afrique
Afrique, je t'aime
Kèlè magni dé
Doussou magni dé
O manssa ba
Né son soumaya la n'ga doussou mara yé
Battered, wounded Africa
Why do you keep the role of the beautiful naive deceived
Yet, my faith does not know failure
More intense than ever
My faith does not know failure
I love you beautiful Africa
Afrique je t'aime
I love you beautiful Africa
You are beautiful Africa
Hei hei héhé hei hé
Kèlè magni dé
Doussou tè ko dilan
