Caminemos pisando la senda
De nuestra inmensa felicidad.
En fraternidad, sin separación,
¡Cantemos Libertad!
Tras dos siglos de estar sometidos
Bajo la dominación colonial,
En fraterna unión, sin discriminar,
¡Cantemos Libertad!
¡Gritemos Viva, Libre Guinea,
Y defendamos nuestra Libertad.
Cantemos siempre, Libre Guinea,
Y conservemos siempre la unidad.
¡Gritemos Viva, Libre Guinea,
Y defendamos nuestra Libertad.
Cantemos siempre, Libre Guinea,
Y conservemos siempre la independencia nacional
Y conservemos, Y conservemos
La independencia nacional.
