I béramu isi pépéza I nadi ukombozi piya I daula ivénuha Tasiba bu ya i dini voya trangaya hunu Komoriya Narikéni na mahaba ya huveindza ya masiwa Yatruwasiwa Komoro damu ndzima Wasiwa Komoro dini ndzima Ya masiwa radzali wa Ya masiwa yarileya Mola né ari sayidiya Narikéni ha niya Riveindzé uwataniya Mahaba ya dine na duniya. I béramu isi pépéza Rang mwési sita wa Zuiye I daula ivénuha Zisiwa zatru zi pangwi ha Maoré na Nzuani, Mwalina Ngaziya Narikéni na mahaba ya huveindza ya masiwa.	Au faîte le Drapeau flotte Apelle à la Liberté totale. La nation apparaît, Force d'une même religion au sein des Comores. Vivons dans l'amour réciproque dans nos îles. Les Comoriens issus de même sang, Nous embrassons la même idéologie religieuse. Les îles où nous somme nés ! Les îles qui nous ont prodigué la bonne éducation. Dieu y a apporté son aide. Conservons notre unité pour l'amour le patrie, Amour pour la religion Et pour l'évolution. Au faîte le Drapeau flotte Depuis le 6 du mois de juillet La nation apparaît, Les îles devenues souveraines; Maore - N'Dzouani - Mouwali - et N'Gazidja. Gardons notre amour pour les îles.
