Original Lyrics in Portuguese
Na memória de África e do mundo,
Pátria bela dos que ousaram lutar,
Moçambique, o teu nome é liberdade,
O Sol de Junho para sempre brilhará.
Chorus:
Moçambique nossa terra gloriosa,
Pedra a pedra construindo o novo dia.
Milhões de braços, uma só força,
Ó Pátria amada, vamos vencer.
Unido ao povo e à pátria,
Vencerá o canhão e a paz,
Venceremos juntos pela nossa paz,
Por nossas crianças e a paz,
Por nossas crianças e a paz,
Moçambique, Moçambique.
