Toute ti moune qui grand gout pralé mangé

An nous dansé Congo

An nous dansé Pétro

Papa bon Dié di nan ciel la mizè fini pou nous

English Translation:

Thank you, God

Look at all that nature has brought us

Thank you, God

Look how misery has ended for us

The rain has fallen

The corn has grown

All the children that were hungry are going to eat

Let’s dance the Congo

Let’s dance the Petro

God said in Heaven

That misery has ended for us
