[3] He is one of the best-selling writers in the capital city Luanda – according to an "informal survey" conducted in July 2003[3] – and writes about "everyday life" in the country using satire and irony.

[7] It has been classified by The Daily Telegraph′s Ivan Hewett as one of several contemporary national anthems that convey "a more martial tone" inspired by "La Marseillaise".

Ó Pátria, nunca mais esqueceremos Os heróis do quatro de Fevereiro.

Ó Pátria, nós saudamos os teus filhos Tombados pela nossa Independência.

Levantemos nossas vozes libertadas, Para glória dos povos Africanos, Marchemos combatentes Angolanos, Solidários com os povos oprimidos, 𝄆 Orgulhosos lutaremos pela Paz, Com as forças progressistas do mundo.

E nsi, kûnda tukûndânga bana baku Bazîmbana mu diambu dya kimpwânza kyeto.

Tutumbula ngolo ndinga zeto zayambulwa Mu dyambu dya nkangu mya Afrika.

Makesa ma Ngola, diata tudiata Muna kintwadi ye nkangu mina mu kinkole.

𝄆 Yinga, mu yadisa ngemba, nwana tunwana mvita Vamosi ye ngolo zawonso za ntomosono ya nza.

[13] Hosted in Portugal in 2011 and 2013, the latter tournament featured teams from Brazil, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
