Era um mundo novo It was a new world
Um sonho de poetas A poet's dream
Ir até ao fim To go far away
Cantar novas vitórias Singing new victories
E erguer orgulhosas bandeiras And to raise flags proudly
Viver aventuras guerreiras To live warrior adventures
Foram mil epopeias A thousand epic poems
Vidas tão cheias Life is so full
Foram oceanos de amor There were oceans of love
  
Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau

Seguindo os seus heróis Following their heroes
E levaram a luz da cultura And they brought the light of culture
