I 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. 𝄇 Coro: 𝄆 Angola, avante! Revolução, pelo Poder Popular! Pátria Unida, Liberdade, Um só povo, uma só Nação! 𝄇 II Levantemos nossas vozes libertadas, Para glória dos povos Africanos, Marchemos combatentes Angolanos, Solidários com os povos oprimidos, 𝄆 Orgulhosos lutaremos pela Paz, Com as forças progressistas do mundo. 𝄇 Coro
