Anthem Lyrics

Patria Amada

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!

Povo unido do Rovuma ao Maputo

Colhe os frutos do combate pela Paz!

Cresce o sonho ondulando na Bandeira

E vai lavrando na certeza do amanhã!

Flores brotando do chão do teu suor

Pelos montes, pelos rios, pelo mar!

Nós juramos por ti, ó Moçambique

Nenhum tirano nos irá escravizar!

The red recalls “the centuries of resistance to colonialism, the armed national liberation struggle, and the defence of sovereignty”. The other colors represent the riches of the soil (green), the African continent (black), the mineral riches (yellow), and justice and peace (white).
