Cântico da Liberdade
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.
Chant of Liberty
Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Liberty is a hymn
And Man the certainty.
With dignity, bury
The seed
In the dust of the naked island
At the escarpment of life
Hope is as big as
The sea
Which embraces us
Sentinel of the oceans and winds
Persevering
Between the stars and the Atlantic
Intone the Chant of Liberty.
Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Liberty is a hymn
And Man the certainty.
