Quando o Bocanegra rugiu<br />
Abalando todo o céu<br />
Das entranhas da Terra surgiu<br />
Prometida em leite e mel<br />
Das altas montanhas à costa verdejante<br />
Em suas águas claras e belos rios, repousa o cansado viajante.<br />
<br />
Um bravo povo a descobriu<br />
Trazido pelo grande mar<br />
Por pioneiros se construiu<br />
Uma pátria, um novo lar<br />
Sobre as ondas do oceano e sob as estrelas do sul<br />
Uma terra abençoada cheia de liberdade pintada em tons de azul.
|style="font-weight:bold;"|
When [[Bocanegra (volcano)|Bocanegra]] roared<br />
Shaking the whole sky<br />
From [[Wikipedia:Earth|Earth]]'s bowels it came<br />
Promised in milk and honey<br />
From high mountains to lush green coast<br />
In its clear waters and beautiful rivers, rests the weary traveler.<br />
<br />
A brave people discovered<br />
Brought by the great sea<br />
By pioneers was built<br />
A country, a new home<br />
On the waves of the ocean and under the southern stars<br />
A blessed land full of liberty painted in shades of blue.

Minhas amadas ilhas, terra de esperança<br />
Minha terra encantada, minha pátria estrelada<br />
Ilhas queridas, estendida ao vento da boa aventurança<br />
Uma terra de paz toda iluminada, é a minha pátria estrelada.
|style="font-weight:bold;"|
My beloved islands, land of hope<br />
My enchanted land, my starry homeland<br />
Dear islands extended to the wind of good bliss<br />
A land of peace completely illuminated, it is my starry homeland

Forjada do suor do povo<br />
Assim como do calor da Terra<br />
As ilhas tornaram-se um país novo<br />
Promessa de um lugar sem guerra<br />
Dos braços fortes do povo à natureza abundante<br />
Em suas novas casas e lares, repousa um povo possante.<br />
<br />
Talhado na natureza nova<br />
Mergulhando no profundo mar<br />
Pioneiros cantados em trova<br />
Canções de um novo lar<br />
Sobre o poderoso Atlântico e abaixo do Cruzeiro do Sul<br />
A liberdade brilhou como o Sol em um céu límpido e azul.

Forged of the people's sweat<br />
As of the Earth's heat<br />
The islands became a new country<br />
Promise of a place with no war<br />
From the strong arms of the people to the abundant nature<br />
In their new houses and homes, rests a powerful people.<br />
<br />
Carved in a new nature<br />
Diving into the deepest sea<br />
Pioneers in ballads sung<br />
Songs for a new home<br />
On the mighty [[Wikipedia:Atlantic ocean|Atlantic]] and below the [[Wikipedia:Crux|Crux]]<br />
The freedom shone like the Sun on a clear blue sky.
