lyrics

KRIOL

Es vida sab k nhos ta vivê
Parodia dia y not manxê
Sen maka ma ku sabura

Angola, Angola
Oi k pov sab
Ami nhos ka ta matá-m
N ben ku ora pa N ba nha kaminh

Es konvivensia d’es nhos vivensia
Pasiensia d’un konsequensia
Resistensia d’un estravagansia

Angola, Angola…

ENGLISH

This joyous life that you live
Partying all day and night
Without worries but full of delight

Angola, Angola
Oh, such a fun-loving people
Friends, please don’t kill me
I came with my return time set

This experience of your lifestyle
Requires patience with a consequence
Resistance of an extravagance

Angola, Angola…
