Let Us All Unite and Celebrate Together

"Let Us All Unite and Celebrate Together" (Arabic: فلنتحد جميعا ونحتفل معا; French: Unissons-nous tous et célébrons ensemble; Portuguese: Vamos todos nos unir e celebrar juntos; Spanish: Unámonos todos y celebremos juntos; Swahili: Hebu wote kuungana na kusherehekea pamoja) is the anthem of the African Union (AU).

[6] After the AU's formation in 2002, it organised a contest to establish official symbols of the Union, including a flag, emblem and anthem.

The brief stated that the symbols should draw inspiration from a number of values including struggle, independence, labour, unity, justice and hope.

The competition was to last until 25 April 2003 and the three best entries were to be presented and the symbols chosen at a session of the AU Assembly in Maputo, Mozambique in July 2003 with the first-, second- and third-place winners receiving US$7,000, US$5,000 and US$3,000 cash prizes, respectively.

Let us all unite and sing together To uphold the bonds that frame our destiny Let us dedicate ourselves to fight together For lasting peace and justice on earth

Let us all unite and toil together To give the best we have to Africa The cradle of mankind and fount of culture Our pride and hope at break of dawn.

هيا بنا لتوحيد صفوفنا بالاناشيد نرفع اصواتنا بالروابط نقرر مصيرنا للكفاح نكرس حياتنا من أجل السلام على اراضينا

Engageons-nous et levons-nous tous comme un seul homme, Pour défendre notre liberté et unité.

Unissons-nous et chantons tous ensemble, Pour maintenir les liens de notre destin.

Tuungane sote na tujibidishe Kutoa kilicho bora kwa Afrika Chimbuko la wana dam chemchem yauta maduni Tumaini letu wakati wa mafarakano.
