Script error: No such module "Lang".

Zairians, in the newfound peace,
United people, we are Zairians;
Moving forward, proud and dignified.
Great people, free people forever.

Tricolored flag, light in us the sacred flame,
In order to always build a beautiful country,
𝄆 Around the majestic river. 𝄇

Tricolored flag in the wind, revive the ideal,
Which links us to our ancestors and our children,
𝄆 Peace, justice, and labor. 𝄇
