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

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

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.

As by our work we build the New Man.

To the glory of the peoples of Africa.

In solidarity with oppressed peoples.
We shall fight proudly for Peace
Along with the progressive forces of the world.
