(Verse 1 – Lingala) Mama Afrika, motema ya biso, Ozali lokumu, ozali ndoto. Na motuya ya mabele, tozali bana na yo, Ata ba distance, ata ba mboka, tozali moko. (Pre-Chorus – Swahili) Mama yetu, Afrika, Sauti yako iko ndani yetu. Kila kijana anaimba, Upendo na fahari kwa nchi yetu. (Chorus – Lingala + Swahili) Mama Afrika na biso – tika kobebisa te, Tika kobala na biso, tika kozala moko. Mama yetu Afrika – moyo uko pamoja, Tunacheza kwassa kwassa, tunasherekea pamoja. (Verse 2 – Lingala) Na Kinshasa, na Goma, na Lubumbashi, Ba jeunes bazali kobeta nzembo ya unité. Na diaspora, na Europa, na Amerika, Bolingo ya mabele ezali kobɛta na misisa. (Bridge – Swahili + Lingala) Afrika ni moja, tolingi na motema moko, Kwassa kwassa ezali langue oyo nyonso azali koyeba. Bana ya mama, to kende liboso, Nzela ya fierté ezali awa. (Chorus – Lingala + Swahili) Mama Afrika na biso – tika kobebisa te, Tika kobala na biso, tika kozala moko. Mama yetu Afrika – moyo uko pamoja, Tunacheza kwassa kwassa, tunasherekea pamoja. (Outro – Chœur mixte) Mama Afrika, mama na biso, Bolingo oyo ezali na libela. Kwassa Kwassa ya jeunesse, Esalaka mokili ekoma moko.
