It was made official in 1996, before that the national anthem was the same as that of Guinea-Bissau. The music was composed by Adalberto Higino Tavares Silva, and the lyrics written by Amilcar Spencer Lopes. Lyrics in Portuguese Canta, irmo
canta meu irmo
que a Liberdade hino
e o Homem a certeza.
Com dignidade, enterra a semente
no p da ilha nua
No despenhadeiro da vida
a esperana do tamanho
do mar que nos abraa
Sentinela de mares e ventos perseverante
entre estrelas e o Atlntico
entoa o cntico da Liberdade
Canta, irmo
canta meu irmo
que a Liberdade hino
e o Homem a certeza.
English translation 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 is 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
Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Freedom is a hymn
And Man a certainty
