Tchápu na Bandera [English translation]

The heart marks the rhythm and tempo

Of this divine miracle

The loveliest expression of the Light

Each of us

Has been given a life

Together with a destiny,

Sweet for some, bitter for others

Life is the banner you carry

Hold tightly to it

So you don’t lose it too soon

Let no one take it from you

And do your part, keep it from no one

Follow your path with a steady step

But don’t forget it is strewn with danger

Such wicked souls surround you,

Lying in wait, to seize your banner in a careless moment

Hold on! Don’t let your banner down
