PORTUGUESE LYRICS
CHORUS
Canta, irmão
canta meu irmão
que a Liberdade é hino
e o Homem a certeza.
Com dignidade, enterra a semente
no po da ilha nua:
No despenhadeiro da vida
a esperança e do tamanho
do mar que nos abraça.
Sentinela de mares e ventos perseverante
entre estrelas e o Atlântico
entoa o cântico da Liberdade.
CHORUS
--
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
CHORUS
Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Freedom is a hymn
And Man a certainty.
With dignity, bury the seed
In the dust of the naked island:
In life ís precipice
Hope is as big as the sea
Which embraces us.
Unwavering sentinel of the seas and winds
Between the stars and the Atlantic ocean
Sing the Chant of Freedom.
CHORUS

| Information |
The Republic of Cape Verde or Cape Verde (Portuguese: Cabo Verde, pron. IPA /'ka.bu 'veɾ.d(ɨ)/) is a republic located on an archipelago in the Macaronesia ecoregion of the North Atlantic Ocean, off the western coast of Africa. The previously uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century; they subsequently became a trading centre for African slaves. Most Cape Verdeans descend from both groups.
"Cape Verde" is named for Cap-Vert (meaning Green Cape), now in Senegal, the westernmost point of continental Africa.
