Esta é a Nossa Pátria Bem Amada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Esta é a Nossa Pátria Bem Amada" ("This Is Our Beloved Country") is the national anthem of Guinea-Bissau. Written and composed by Amílcar Cabral, it was adopted upon independence in 1974. It was also the national anthem of Cape Verde until 1996, when a new anthem (Cântico da Liberdade) was chosen by the latter country.
[edit] Portuguese lyrics
- Sol, suor e o verde e mar,
- Séculos de dor e esperança:
- Esta é a terra dos nossos avós!
- Fruto das nossas mãos,
- Da flor do nosso sangue:
- Esta é a nossa pátria amada.
- CHORUS:
- Viva a pátria gloriosa!
- Floriu nos céus a bandeira da luta.
- Avante, contra o jugo estrangeiro!
- Nós vamos construir
- Na pátria immortal
- A paz e o progresso!
- Nós vamos construir
- Na pátria imortal
- A paz e o progresso! paz e o progresso!
- Ramos do mesmo tronco,
- Olhos na mesma luz:
- Esta é a força da nossa união!
- Cantem o mar e a terra
- A madrugada e o sol
- Que a nossa luta fecundou.
- CHORUS
