Portuguese original[3] IPA transcription[a] English translation

Coro I:
Independência total,
Glorioso canto do povo,
Independência total,
Hino sagrado de combate.

Coro II:
Dinamismo
Na luta nacional,
Juramento eterno
No país soberano de São Tomé e Príncipe.

I
Guerrilheiro da guerra sem armas na mão,
Chama viva na alma do povo,
Congregando os filhos das ilhas
Em redor da Pátria Imortal.

Independência total, total e completa,
Construindo, no progresso e na paz,
A nação mais ditosa da Terra,
Com os braços heróicos do povo.

Coro I

II
Trabalhando, lutando, lutando e vencendo,
Caminhamos a passos gigantes
Na cruzada dos povos africanos,
Hasteando a bandeira nacional.

Voz do povo, presente, presente em conjunto,
Vibra rijo no coro da esperança
Ser herói na hora do perigo,
Ser herói no ressurgir do país.

Chorus I:

Total independence,

Glorious song of the people,

Total independence,

Sacred hymn of combat.

Chorus II:

Dynamism

In the national struggle,

Eternal oath

To the sovereign country of São Tomé and Príncipe.

I

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,

The happiest nation on earth,

With the heroic arms of the people.

Chorus I

II

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 I

Chorus II
