1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Children of Benin, arise!

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,500
The resounding cry of freedom

3
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,500
Is heard at the first light of dawn,

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:17,500
Children of Benin, arise!

5
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:27,000
Formerly, at her call, our ancestors

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Knew how to engage in mighty battles

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,500
With strength, courage, ardour,
and full of joy, but at the price of blood.

8
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:50,500
Builders of present,
you too, join forces

9
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:56,500
Each day for the
task stronger in unity.

10
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:08,000
Build without ceasing
for posterity!
