The sky has already lightened
Consciences have already cleared
The time has come to face reality
A suffering people
Have already calmed their pain
To be well, in peace and in progress

If we have faith
In our capacity
Mother Africa will be happy one day

Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa my, Africa our
Africa, Africa, Africa
Cradle of the world, fertile continent

They say Senegal and Cape Verde are brothers
My homeland is the nicest country
My people are great and God is with us
Africa is a good country, where we suffer but we are happy

Africa, Africa, Africa
Everyone is dancing and singing
Africa, Africa, Africa
Everyone is beautiful and singing

The sky has already lightened
Consciences have already cleared
The time has come to face reality
A suffering people
Have already calmed their pain
To be well, in peace and in progress

Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa my, Africa our
Africa, Africa, Africa
Cradle of the world, fertile continent

Long live Africa from the bottom of my heart
Cap Verde is my little land
But my people are great and God is with us
Africa is a good country, where we suffer but we are happy

Africa, Africa, Africa
Everyone is dancing and singing
Africa, Africa, Africa
Everyone is beautiful and singing

Africa, my dear, Africa
Africa my, Africa our
Africa, my dear, Africa
Africa my, Africa our
