Foi entre o mar e o céu
Sobre as ondas ao Léu
O veleiro a rogar
Adeus Terras de Luanda
De Cabinda e de Uganda
Era a escravidão
E no negro porão
Triste coro a cantar
Adeus Terras de Luanda
De Cabinda e de Uganda
Piedade Senhor
Pelos homens de cor
Que perderam seu lar
Adeus Terra de Luanda
De Cabinda e de Uganda
E lá do Sudão brilhou
E o céu todo se iluminou
E o sol do novo mundo em fim no horizonte
Raiou este sol da liberdade
Que lhe deu felicidade e amor
Foi entre o mar e o céu
Sobre as ondas ao Léu
O veleiro a rogar
Adeus Terras de Luanda
De Cabinda e de Uganda
