[ Chorus: Independência total, Glorioso canto do povo, Independência total, Hino sagrado de combate. Dinamismo Na luta nacional, Juramento eterno No pais soberano de São Tomé e Príncipe. Guerrilheiro da guerra sem armas na mão, Chama viva na alma do porvo, Congregando os filhos das ilhas Em redor da Pátria Imortal. Independência total, total e completa, Costruindo, no progresso e na paz, A nação ditosa da Terra, Com os braços heróicos do povo. Chorus Trabalhando, lutando, presente em vencendo, Caminhamos a passos gigantes Na cruzada dos povos africanos, Hasteando a bandeira nacional. Voz do porvo, presente, presente em conjunto, Vibra rijo no coro da esperança Ser herói no hora do perigo, Ser herói no ressurgir do País. Chorus Dinamismo Na luta nacional, Juramento eterno No pais soberano de São Tomé e Príncipe.] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)

Chorus: Total independence, Glorious song of the people, Total independence, Sacred hymn of combat. Dynamism In the national struggle, Eternal oath To the sovereign country of São Tomé and Príncipe. Warriors in the war without weapons, Live flame in the soul of the people, Congregating the sons of the islands Around the Immortal Fatherland. Total independence, total and complete, Building, in progress and peace, With the heroic hands of the people, The happiest nation on earth. Chorus Working, struggling, struggling and conquering, We go ahead with giant steps In the crusade of the African peoples, Raising the national flag. Voice of the people, present, present and united, Strong beat in the heart of hope To be a hero in the hour of peril, A hero of the Nation's resurgence. Chorus Dynamism In the national struggle, Eternal oath To the sovereign country of São Tomé and Príncipe.
