Hi, Im looking for information about the national anthem of Chad.

Who wrote the Chadian national anthem (lyrics and music)?

When was the national anthem of Chad officially adopted?

Please add any valuable information like links to anthem’s mp3, video, lyrics, free sheet music etc.

The National anthem of Chad is “La Tchadienne” which means in English “The Chadian”.

Chad’s anthem lyrics were written by Louis GIDROL and his students and the music was written by Paul VILLARD.

Adopted 1960.

People of Chad, arise and to work!

You have conquered the soil and won your rights;

Your freedom will be born of your courage.

Lift up your eyes, the future is yours.

 

O my Country, may God protect you,

May your neighbours admire your children.

Joyful, peaceful, advance as you sing,

Faithful to your fathers who are watching you.

 

People of Chad, arise and to work!

You have conquered the soil and won your rights;

Your freedom will be born of your courage.

Lift up your eyes, the future is yours.
