"Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Template:Langx) is the national anthem of Côte d'Ivoire, adopted under law number 60–207 on 27 July 1960. It takes the form of a lyric and very patriotic poem, invoking inspiring imagery expressing the greatness of the Ivorian soil and values such as hope, peace, dignity, and the "true brotherhood".

History

File:L'Abidjanaise jouée devant Houphouët-Boigny le 26 octobre 1992.webm
The anthem performed on 12 October 1992 by the Ivorian Military Orchestra in front of President Felix Houphouët-Boigny before the inauguration of the armies museum

Adopted in 1960 at the country's independence, "Script error: No such module "Lang"." remains the national anthem of Côte d'Ivoire, though the de jure capital is now Yamoussoukro, while Abidjan remains the economic capital and retains some political functions. This hymn is strongly tinged with patriotism and influenced by religion. The lyrics are from ministers Mathieu Vangah Ekra and Joachim Bony. The music was composed by abbots Pierre-Marie Coty and Pierre-Michel Pango, taking "La Marseillaise" as a model.[1]

Between 2007 and 2009, under the leadership of Laurent Gbagbo, there was a proposal to replace "Script error: No such module "Lang"." with a different song, "Script error: No such module "Lang"." as the national anthem. This Ode was composed in 2002 after the start of the Ivorian civil war, and was selected by contest in 2003.[2] "Script error: No such module "Lang"." was sung by supporters of the now former head of state and broadcast on the RTI's television network instead of "Script error: No such module "Lang"." until 2007, even though the latter remained, according to the constitution, the country's national anthem.[3] However, the proposal was eventually dropped.

I
We salute you, O land of hope,
Country of hospitality;
Thy full gallant legions
Have restored thy dignity.

Beloved Ivory Coast, thy sons,
Proud builders of thy greatness,
All gathered together for thy glory,
In joy will we construct thee.

Chorus I:Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Proud Ivorians, the country calls us.
If we have brought back liberty peacefully,
It will be our duty to be an example
Of the hope promised to humanity,
In building, united in the new faith
The homeland of true brotherhood.

II
To you, noble Ivory Coast,
O great country of good people!
We bring in victory,
The homage of our ardent hearts.

In the friendship of the brotherly peoples,
God guides us to the ideal,
Subject to the motto:
Union labor discipline.

Chorus II:Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
For your greatness, rich and noble homeland,
We will walk forward, full of love and full of faith.
From united hearts, during our life,
We will work in honor for the just right,
Of hearts united during our life,
With your calls we will all be present.

III
To all our fellow travelers,
At the dawn of this fallen day,
So that there is no longer any doubt,
But faith, fraternity.

To all our elite battalions,
In the tomb today,
O whole people repetitions:
Love, honor, fidelity.

IV
And let your flag unite us,
May your love strengthen us,
Because for you alone we want to live,
And for you fight and die.

And you, proud and noble youth,
From all known horizons,
Always follow this wisdom,
of our elders who are no more.

Template:Yesitalic

V
To us, which animates hope,
In your bright future,
Always restore the insurance,
To lead us into happy people.

And we will go around the world,
Sow your name and your benefits,
By clamoring on all the waves,
That on your soil reigns peace.
