- National flag
Translated from the Official Journal of the Togolese Republic The national emblem is the green, yellow and red flag, with a white star, the green and the yellow arranged in horizontal stripes of equal width, three green stripes alternating with two yellow stripes; in the upper left corner there is a red square whose side is three stripe widths and which bears at its centre the white five-pointed star.
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Official Journal of the Togolese Republic The colours of the flag symbolise:
— green, our attachment to our fields, to the soil of our homeland, a nourishing land always generous towards its children, whose efforts it never fails to reward;
— yellow, our faith in a bright and radiant future, and our will to achieve it;
— red, the unshakeable resolve to safeguard our freedom, even at the price of our blood;
finally, the white star highlights the purity of our heart and our sincere desire to live in peace with the other nations.
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Official Journal of the Togolese Republic The Law of 18 September 1956, known as the law establishing a national emblem, a national anthem and a national motto, a law which was not that of a sovereign State, can only be repealed.
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Presidency of the Togolese Republic The Togolese flag was designed by the art Professor Ahyi Paul
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Official Journal of the Togolese Republic LAW No. 60-11 of 23 April 1960 defining the National Emblem, the National Anthem and the Motto of the Togolese Republic.

1Salut à toi, pays de nos aïeux! Toi qui les rendais forts, paisibles et joyeux, Cultivant vertu, vaillance Pour la postérité. Que viennent les tyrans, ton coeur soupire vers la liberté. Togo, debout! Luttons sans défaillance, Vainquons ou mourons, mais dans la dignité. Grand Dieu, Toi seul nous as exaltés Du Togo pour la prospérité, Togolais, viens! Batissons la Cité!
2Dans l’unité nous voulons te servir, C’est bien là de nos coeurs le plus ardent désir. Clamons fort notre devise Que rien ne peut ternir. Seuls artisans de ton bonheur ainsi que de ton avenir, Brisons partout les chaînes, la traîtrise Et nous te jurons toujours fidélité Et aimer, servir, se dépasser, Faire encore de toi sans nous lasser Togo Chéri, l’Or de l’Humanité.
3Salut, Salut à l’Univers entier Unissons nos efforts sur l’immense chantier D’où naîtra toute nouvelle La Grande Humanité Partout au lieu de la misère, apportons la félicité. Chassons du monde la haine rebelle Finis l’esclavage et la Captivité A l’étoile de la liberté, Renouons la solidarité Des Nations dans la fraternité
