Gidar (Cameroon / Chad)

Verse 1

Gáɗa tèlè nà wúrá sár, Kàlàŋ wáɗá nà tìyà wúrà, Kóɗó kùrá tìyà mà hìnè, Zìlà nà wúrà, hùrùm sár nà nùŋ. Yá zùrù gùrù tìyà mà kàl, Núfà sár gàrà kùmà.

Verse 2

Zìyà wúrà tèlè kàlàŋ, Dàrà zùrù kàl sàrà, Dùnyà kàfà nà zìyà kúrà, Bàhìn gùrù mà zìyà mà. Zìlà nà wúrà kàlàŋ, Tàrà nà wúrà wáɗá.

English Translation

Verse 1:

On wings that span the morning sky, The eagle rides the mountain wind, No earthly chain can make it cry, Born free, with heaven's breath within. It soars above what holds us down, And wears the clouds just like a crown.

Verse 2:

To feel that rush of boundless flight, Where valleys shrink to tiny seams, The world spread out in pure delight, Beyond our wildest, earthbound dreams. What freedom must that eagle know, Dancing with the winds that blow.
