GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 1 © 2007
Great Soul in My Country
From the record of all I have done,
It was to be faithful to you in hardness,
In the molten rock, through liquid welding.
With calloused hands and a serene soul,
Shaping destiny between the cracks,
Each drop of sweat, a promise,
Each scar, a certainty.
Faithful to the ground that supports me,
To this land that feeds me,
And in the hardness of the stone,
I find the strength that sustains me.
My country, with a great soul,
Where the sun burns and the wind expands,
Where the heart beats in unison,
With nature that commands us, like a hymn.
In the record of all I have done,
Remains the mark of my labour,
Faithful to you, my Angola,
In the molten rock, through liquid welding,
I have engraved my love.
