Politique, la politique
t as gaté mon pays
la côte d' ivoire mon beau pays
pays d'hospitalité
pays de fraternité
mais les politiciens ont décidé
de te transformer
Refrain:
Ma Côte d' Ivoire
je ne veux plus te voir en larmes
ma Côte d' Ivoire
je ne veux plus te voir prendre les armes
j' ai en mémoire 2 frères sous le même toit
l'un venait du nord
et portait le croissant des hommes qui chantent
Bissimilah
je me rappelle l' autre portait autour du cou
une croix de Yamoussoukrou
ils s' en allaient pour travailler la terre
sans partage égal c' est la guerre
et puis les 2 frères
chacun de leur côté
l'un cultivant sa différence
et l autre l' ivoirité
Beta Simon:
Bêlé-bêlé zékrémanbo yio a noi ayè billiéyè
assane ba libinayé ho
siriki yê saki laki wra, saki yê siriki hé laki wra
abi ho a scruba yè ho
gréhi niman meon bê nan kramên bên
Toute la famille divisée
ne pourra jamais prospérer
alors frères et soeurs
notre avenir se trouve dans l' unité
tout reste à faire sur notre continent en jachère
il attend d' être travaillé
et c' est sur qu' il va beaucoup donner
il est temps pour nous de nous unir
sinon nous allons tous périr
Ma Côte d' Ivoire
je ne veux plus te voir en larmes
ma Côte d' Ivoire
je ne veux plus te voir prendre les armes
