The National Anthem.

(Unofficial version)

Hail to thee, land of our forefathers,

Thou who made them strong,

Peaceful and happy,

Men who for posterity

Cultivated virtue and bravery.

Even if tyrants shall come,

Thy heart yearns towards freedom.

Togo arise! Let us struggle without faltering.

Victory or death, but dignity.

God almighty,

Thou alone hast made Togo prosper.

People of Togo arise! Let us build the nation.

Play the Anthem!

To serve thee in unity is

The most burning desire of our hearts.

Let us shout aloud our motto

That nothing can tarnish.

We the only builders of

Thy happiness and of thy future,

Everywhere let us break chains and treachery,

And we swear to thee

For ever faith, love, service, untiring zeal,

To make thee yet, beloved Togo,

A golden example for humanity.
