History

Lyrics

First verse in Anglish

O, dawn of liberty’s light
Guide thyself onto this blessed shore
For from tyranny we wake
Into the bright new day forevermore!

Second verse in Sahrabic (with transliteration and Anglish translation)

لهذا النور الساطع
يبارك كل الزنج
ونحن نقف معًا
ونحن نقف معًا!

Lihaḏā āl-nuwr āl-sāṭiʿi
Yubārik kulu āl-Zinǧ
Wanaḥn naqif miʿān
Wanaḥn naqif miʿān!

For this shining light
Blesses all of Azania
And together we stand
And together we stand!

Third verse in Banno (with Anglish translation)

À cĩ́ nɔ̄, kpá dyí ké ɓúáìn
Ɓáún-ɓáún mic-ɓěɔ̀ ké hwòɖǒ
Séín fíɖíì-ce sí dúún
Séín fíɖíì-ce sí dúún!

Here we live, triumphant and proud
With many tongues and one heart
For liberty’s light shines on all
For liberty’s light shines on all!
