I
Oh Fatherland, we shall never forget
The heroes of the Fourth of February.
Oh Fatherland, we salute your children
Who died for our Independence.
𝄆 We honour the past and our History,
As by our work we build the New Man. 𝄇

𝄆 Forward, Angola!
Revolution through the power of the People:
A United Country, Freedom,
One People, one Nation! 𝄇

II
Let us raise our liberated voices
For the glory of the peoples of Africa.
We shall march, Angolan fighters,
In solidarity with oppressed peoples.
𝄆 We shall fight proudly for Peace
Along with the progressive forces of the world. 𝄇
