French Lyrics
\nCHORUS:
\nPeuple Tchadien, debout et à l'ouvrage!
\nTu as conquis la terre et ton droit;
\nTa liberté naîtra de ton courage.
\nLève les yeux, l'avenir est à Toi.
O mon Pays, que Dieu te prenne en garde,
\nQue tes voisins admirent tes enfants.
\nJoyeux, pacifique, avance en chantant,
\nFidèle à tes anciens te regardent.
CHORUS
English Translation
\nCHORUS:
\nPeople of Chad, arise and take up the task!
\nYou have conquered the soil and won your rights;
\nYour freedom will be born of your courage.
\nLift up your eyes, the future is yours
Oh, my Country, may God protect you,
\nMay your neighbours admire your children.
\nJoyful, peaceful, advance as you sing,
\nFaithful to your fathers who are watching you.
