English translation |
- Canta, irmão
- canta meu irmão
- que a Liberdade é hino
- e o Homem a certeza.
- Com dignidade, enterra a semente
- no pó da ilha nua
- No despenhadeiro da vida a esperança é
- do tamanho do mar
- que nos abraça
- Sentinela de mares e ventos
- perseverante
- entre estrelas
- e o Atlântico
- entoa o cântico da Liberdade
- Canta, irmão
- canta meu irmão
- que a Liberdade é hino
- e o Homem a certeza.

- Sing, brother
- Sing, my brother
- For Freedom is a hymn
- And Man a certainty
- With dignity, bury the seed
- In the dust of the naked island
- In life's precipice
- Hope is as big as the sea
- Which embraces us
- Sentinel of the seas and winds
- Unwavering
- between stars
- and the Atlantic
- sing the Chant of Freedom
- Sing, brother
- sing, my brother
- for Freedom is a hymn
- and Man a certainty.
