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, Honramos o passado e a nossa História, Construindo no Trabalho o Homem novo. Coro: (2x) 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, combatantes angolanos, Solidários com os povos oprimidos. Orgulhosos lutaremos Pela Paz Com as forças progressistas do mundo. Orgulhosos lutaremos Pela Paz Com as forças progressistas do mundo. Coro (2x)	O Fatherland, we shall never forget The heroes of the Fourth of February.
