National Anthem
The Rallying Song
O
Cameroon, Thou Cradle
of our Fathers,
Holy Shrine where
in our midst they
now repose,
Their tears and blood
and sweat thy soil
did water,
On thy hills and valleys
once their tillage
rose.
Dear Fatherland, thy
worth no tongue can
tell!
How can we ever pay
thy due?
Thy welfare we will
win in toil and love
and peace,
Will be to thy name
ever true!
Land
of Promise, land of
Glory!
Thou, of life and
joy, our only store!
Thine be honour, thine
devotion,
And deep endearment,
for evermore.
From
Shari, from where
the Mungo meanders
From along the banks
of lowly Boumba Stream,
Muster thy sons in
union close around
thee,
Mighty as the Buea
Mountain be their
team;
Instil in them the
love of gentle ways,
Regret for errors
of the past;
Foster, for Mother
Africa, a loyalty
That true shall remain
to the last.
