Gabon
National Anthem
The Concord
United in concord and brotherhood,
Awake, Gabon, dawn is at hand.
Stir up the spirit that thrills and inspires
us!
At last we rise up to attain happiness.
At last we rise up to attain happiness.
Dazzling
and proud, the sublime day dawns,
Dispelling for ever injustice and shame.
May it still advance and calm our fears,
May it promote virtue and banish warfare.
Yes,
may the happy days of which our ancestors
dreamed
Come for us at last, rejoicing our hearts,
And banish the sorcerers, those perfidious
deceivers
Who sowed poison and spread fear.
So
that, in the eyes of the world and of friendly
nations,
The immortal Gabon may maintain her good
repute,
Let us forget our quarrels, let us build
together
The new structure of which we all have dreamed.
From
the shores of the Ocean to the heart of
the forest,
Let us remain vigilant, without weakness
and without hatred!
Around this flag which leads us to honour,
Let us salute the Fatherland and ever sing
