Ngola Yetu

I desired so much for my life Ngandala kima kiavulu muenhu wami But all of it was marred, this homeland of ours Maji oso ê kiavisa ni xietu I wanted only for us to be one Ngandala kitukulu lumoxi ngo we I yearn to wander as a free soul Ngi pala nzanzala mutu

My mother grew weary of speaking O mama riami uabuirile ni kuzuela My grandfather grew weary of the path Nga kuku uabuirile ni kinjila Our dream died here Nzoji yetu afua mumu Our dream, it died here Yetu nzoji afua mumu Our dream died here Nzoji yetu afua mumu Our dream, it died here Yetu nzoji afua mumu

(Wowowowowo) (Wowowowowo) Oh, our Angola Ai Ngola Yetu (Wowowowowo) (Wowowowowo) Oh, our homeland Ai Xietu

We are dying of hunger, father (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala tata (wowowo) We are dying of hunger, my lord (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala nzambi eh (wowowo) We are dying of hunger, father (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala tata (wowowo) We are dying of hunger Etu tufua ni nzala

I desired so much for my life Ngandala kima kiavulu muenhu wami I wanted a single home Ngandala kubata umoxi I wanted only for us to be one Ngandala kitukulu lumoxi ngo we I am also a son of this land Também sou filho dessa terra

My mother grew weary of speaking O mama riami uabuirile ni kuzuela My grandfather grew weary of the path Nga kuku uabuirile ni kinjila Our dream died here Nzoji yetu afua mumu Our dream, it died here Yetu nzoji afua mumu

(Wowowowowo) (Wowowowowo) Oh, our Angola Ai Ngola Yetu (Wowowowowo) (Wowowowowo) Oh, our homeland Ai Xietu

We are dying of hunger, father (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala tata (wowowo) And I, I am weeping in sorrow (wowowo) Eme gala mudila uoió (wowowo) We are dying of hunger, oh father (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala tata we (wowowo) We are dying of hunger, mother (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala mama (wowowo) We are dying of hunger, father (wowowo) Etu tufua ni nzala tata (wowowo) And I, I am weeping in sorrow Eme gala mudila uoió
