Angola Avante! ( Portuguese "Forward Angola!") is the national anthem of the Republic of Angola .

history

The national anthem was adopted in 1975 after independence from Portugal . Before independence, the song Angola é nossa ( Portuguese: “Angola is ours!”) Was used by European settlers as the unofficial national anthem, but after the independence negotiations began it was no longer in use. February 4th mentioned in the text refers to February 4th 1961, on which Angolans rose up against the occupying power Portugal.

Original Portuguese text

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 ea nossa História,
Construindo no Trabalho o Homem novo: |


CHORUS
|: Angola, avante!
Revolução, pelo Poder Popular!
Pátria Unida, Liberdade,
Um só povo, uma só Nação! : |


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. : |
CHORUS

with the progressive forces of the world. : |
