"Ditanyè"^[1] (usually written "Le Ditanyè"^[2]^[3]^[4]), also known as "L'Hymne de la victoire"^[2] ("The Anthem of Victory", Mossi: "Burkina Faso fãag-m-meng yɩɩlle";^[5]^[6]) or "Une Seule Nuit" ("One Single Night"^[7]), is the national anthem of Burkina Faso. Former president Thomas Sankara, also a jazz guitarist, wrote the lyrics.^[7] The composer of the melody is unknown, but it has also been attributed to Sankara.^[4]

It was adopted during his presidency in a decree issued on 2 August 1984, effective midnight on 4 August 1984, the first anniversary of Sankara's accession to the presidency. The decree also renamed the country from Upper Volta to its current name. The anthem replaced the "Hymne National Voltaïque", the national anthem of Upper Volta.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Lyrics

The first verse and chorus are considered to be the official lyrics, and are performed at most official occasions.

French lyrics^[8]	Mossi lyrics^[6]^[9]^[10]	English translation^[11]
I Contre la férule humiliante il y a déjà mille ans, La rapacité venue de loin les asservir il y a cent ans. Contre la cynique malice métamorphosée En néocolonialisme et ses petits servants locaux Beaucoup flanchèrent et certains résistèrent. Mais les échecs, les succès, la sueur, le sang Ont fortifié notre peuple courageux Et fertilisé sa lutte héroïque. Refrain: Et une seule nuit a rassemblée en elle L'histoire de tout un peuple. Et une seule nuit a déclenché sa marche triomphale Vers l'horizon du bonheur. Une seule nuit a réconcilié notre peuple Avec tous les peuples du monde, A la conquête de la liberté et du progrès La Patrie ou la mort, nous vaincrons! II Nourris à la source vive de la Révolution. Les engagés volontaires de la liberté et de la paix Dans l'énergie nocturne et salutaire du 4 août N'avaient pas que les armes à la main, mais aussi et surtout La flamme au coeur pour légitimement libérer Le Faso à jamais des fers de tous ceux qui Çà et, là en poluaient l'âme sacrée de L'indépendance, de la souveraineté. Refrain III Et séant désormais en sa dignité recouvrée L'amour et l'honneur en partage avec l'humanité, Le peuple du Burkina chante un hymne à la victoire, A la gloire du travail libérateur, émancipateur. A bas l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme! Hé en avant pour le bonheur de tout homme, Par tous les hommes aujourd'hui et demain, Par tous les hommes ici et pour toujours! Refrain IV Révolution populaire notre sève nourricière. Maternité immortelle du progrès à visage d'homme. Foyer éternel de démocratie consensuelle, Où enfin l'identité nationale a droit de cité, Où pour toujours l'injustice perd ses quartiers, Et où, des mains des bâtisseurs d'un monde radieux Mûrissent partout les moissons de vœux patriotiques, Brillent les soleils infinis de joie. Refrain	I Burkĩmbã pĩnd n kisga wõrbo la yãnde hal yʋʋm tusri B kisga fãadbã sẽn yi yɩɩga hal yʋʋm koabga, n wa ne yembdo, B tõdga sɩlem-wɛɛgã sẽn toeeme, n lebg yaoolem yembdo B kisga sɩlem-wɛɛgã yembdooh ne a tẽng-n-tɛɛndbã fãa gilli. Wʋsg n bas raoodo, la kẽer me sɩd zãgsame, La pãn-kongrã, la tõogrã, la tʋʋlgã kaagre, Zɩɩmã raagre kenga d nin-buiidã pelse La b paasa b raoodo n leb n zẽk b burkĩndi. Reesgo I: La yʋng a ye tãa, a ye tãa, Kʋmba nin-buiidã vɩɩm kibare, La yʋng a ye tãa bal pʋgẽ waa, tɩlgre sor pakame Tɩ b rɩk n babsd vɩ-noogo, Yʋng a ye lagma tõnd nin-buiidã Ne nin-buiidã sẽn be dũni wã fãa pʋgẽ N baood tɩlgre la paoongo, ne b sũurã fãa Kall tɩ d tõoge, ba d na n ki d tẽng yĩnga!	I Against the humiliating bondage of a thousand years Rapacity came from afar to subjugate them for a hundred years. Against the cynical malice in the shape Of neo-colonialism and its petty local servants. Many gave in and certain others resisted. But the frustrations, the successes, the sweat, the blood Have fortified our courageous people And fertilised its heroic struggle. Chorus: And one single night has drawn together The history of an entire people, And one single night has launched its triumphal march. Towards the horizon of good fortune. One single night has brought together our people With all the peoples of the World, In the acquisition of liberty and progress. Motherland or death, we shall conquer! II Nourished in the lively source of the Revolution, The volunteers for liberty and peace With their nocturnal and beneficial energies of the 4th of August Had not only hand arms, but also and above all The flame in their hearts lawfully to free Faso forever from the fetters of those who Here and there were polluting the sacred soul of Independence and sovereignty. Chorus III And seated henceforth in rediscovered dignity, Love and honour partnered with humanity, The people of Burkina sing a victory hymn To the glory of the work of liberation and emancipation. Down with exploitation of man by man! Forward for the good of every man By all men of today and tomorrow, By every man here and always! Chorus IV Popular revolution our nourishing sap. Undying motherhood of progress in the face of man. Eternal hearth of agreed democracy, Where at last national identity has the right of freedom. Where injustice has lost its place forever, And where from the hands of builders of a glorious world Everywhere the harvests of patriotic vows ripen, Suns of boundless joy shine. Chorus
