They've been doing very well lately. If they beat they Germans, they'll get through this group.

O Cameroun, Berceau de Nos Ancetres

(Oh Cameroon, Though Cradle of Our Forefathers)

Oh Cameroon, Thou Cradle of our Fathers,
Holy Shrine where in our midst they now repose,
Their tears and blood and sweat they soil did water,
On they hills and valleys once their village rose.
Dear Fatherland, thy worth no tongue can tell!
How can we ever pay thy due?
Thy welfare we will ain in toil and love and peace,
Will be to thy name ever true!
CHORUS
Land of Promise, Land of Glory!
Though, of life and joy, our only store!
Thine be honour, thine devotion
And deep endearment, for evermore

From Shari, from where the Mungo meanders
From along the banks of lowly Boumba Stream,
Muster thy sons in union close around thee,
Mighty as the Buea Mountain be their team;
Instil in them the love of gentl ways,
Regret for errors of the past;
Foster, for Mother Africa, a loyalty
That true shall remain to the last.
