Mèci bon Dié
Gadé tout ça la natu poté pou nous
Mèci bon Dié
Gadé couman la mizè fini pou nous
La pli tombé

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
