|<poem>Arise with strength! For [[Djiboutians|we]] have raised [[Flag of Djibouti|our flag]],
The flag which has cost us dear
𝄆 With [[History of Djibouti|extremes of thirst and pain]]. 𝄇

Our flag, whose colours are the everlasting green of the earth,
The blue of the sky, and white, the colour of peace;
And in the centre the red star of blood.

𝄆 Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight!
Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight! 𝄇</poem>
|<poem>Lève-toi avec force ! Parce que nous avons hissé notre drapeau,
Le drapeau qui nous a coûté cher
𝄆 Avec une soif et une douleur extrêmes. 𝄇

Notre drapeau, dont les couleurs sont le vert éternel de la terre,
Le bleu du ciel et le blanc, la couleur de la paix;
Et dans le centre de l'étoile rouge de sang.

𝄆 Oh notre drapeau, quel spectacle magnifique !

انهضوا بقوة إلى حيث رفعنا رايتنا
تلك الراية التي كلفتنا الغالي والنفيس
𝄇 مع مزيد من العطش والألم 𝄆

رايتنا بألوانها التي أخذت أبد الدهر،
أخضرها من الأرض، وأزرقها من السماء؛
والأبيض لون السلام، وسطه النجم الأحمر بلون الدم

𝄇 يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر
يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر 𝄆}}</poem>
