O Fatherland, we will never forget
Heroes of the Fourth of February.
O Fatherland, your sons greet you,
Those who died for our Independence.
We honor the past and our history,
Creating a new person through labor.

Revolution is the power of the people!
United Motherland, freedom,
One people, one nation!
Let's raise our liberated voices
To the glory of the peoples of Africa.
March on, Angolan fighter,
In solidarity with oppressed peoples.

Together with the progressive forces of the world.
Forward, Angola!
Revolution is the power of the people!
United Motherland, freedom,
One people, one nation!
