"Cântico da Liberdade" (English: "Chant of Liberty") is the national anthem of Cape Verde. It was made official in 1996, replacing "Esta É a Nossa Pátria Bem Amada", which was also the national anthem of Guinea Bissau, a legacy of both countries' joint independence. The music was composed by Adalberto Higino Tavares Silva (1961–), and the lyrics were written by Amílcar Spencer Lopes (1948–).[1]

The national anthem must be played at the beginning and end of all public events in which the head of state is present and also when national parties and openings and closings of radio and television broadcasts are held.[2]

Lyrics

Portuguese original[2][3][4] IPA transcription[a] English translation

Canta, irmão
Canta meu irmão
Que a Liberdade é hino
E o Homem a certeza.

Com dignidade, enterra a semente
no pó da ilha nua
No despenhadeiro da vida
A esperança é
Do tamanho do mar
Que nos abraça
Sentinela de mares e ventos
Perseverante
Entre estrelas
E o Atlântico
Entoa o cântico da Liberdade

Canta, irmão
canta meu irmão
Que a Liberdade é hino
E o Homem a certeza.

Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Liberty is a hymn
And Man the certainty.

With dignity, bury the seed
In the dust of the naked island
At the escarpment of life
Hope is
As big as the sea
Which embraces us
Sentinel of the oceans and winds
Persevering
Between the stars
And the Atlantic
Intone the Chant of Liberty.
 
Sing, brother
Sing, my brother
For Liberty is a hymn
And Man the certainty.
