I
Ó Pátria, nunca mais esqueceremos
Os heróis do quatro de Fevereiro.
Ó Pátria, nós saudamos os teus filhos
Tombados pela nossa Independência.
𝄆 Honramos o passado e a nossa História,
Construindo no Trabalho o Homem novo. 𝄇

Coro:
𝄆 Angola, avante!
Revolução, pelo Poder Popular!
Pátria Unida, Liberdade,
Um só povo, uma só Nação! 𝄇

II
Levantemos nossas vozes libertadas,
Para glória dos povos Africanos,
Marchemos combatentes Angolanos,
Solidários com os povos oprimidos,
𝄆 Orgulhosos lutaremos pela Paz,
Com as forças progressistas do mundo. 𝄇

I
E nsi'eto, katulendi kubavilakana ko
N'nûngi mya kya n'nya kya ngond'a n'zole.
E nsi, kûnda tukûndânga bana baku
Bazîmbana mu diambu dya kimpwânza kyeto.
𝄆 Zitisa tuzitisânga mavioka ye kinkulu kyeto,
Mu salu kyeto, tunga tutungânga muntu’a mpa. 𝄇


Chorus:
𝄆 Ngola, nda kuntwala!
Nsobolo muna lendo kya n'kangu!
Nsi'a vukana, (muna) kimpwanza!
Nkang'umosi, n'toto mosi! 𝄇

II
Tutumbula ngolo ndinga zeto zayambulwa
Mu dyambu dya nkangu mya Afrika.
Makesa ma Ngola, diata tudiata
Muna kintwadi ye nkangu mina mu kinkole.
𝄆 Yinga, mu yadisa ngemba, nwana tunwana mvita
Vamosi ye ngolo zawonso za ntomosono ya nza. 𝄇

English translation

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. 𝄇

Chorus:
𝄆 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. 𝄇
