The great flood of tears that we`ve cried The great flood of tears that we`ve cried O grande rio de lágrimas que choramos For our brothers and sisters who`ve died For our brothers and sisters who`ve died Por nossos irmãos e irmãs que morreram Over four hundred years Over four hundred years Por mais de cem anos Has washed away our fears Has washed away our fears Levou nossos medos And strengthened our pride And strengthened our pride Reuniu nosso orgulho Now we turn back the tide Now we turn back the tide Agora nos invertemos a maré We will no longer hear your command We will no longer hear your command Não vamos mais acatar suas ordens We will sieze the control from your hand We will sieze the control from your hand Vamos arrancar o controle de suas mãos We will fan the flame We will fan the flame Vamos alimentar a chama Of our anger and pain Of our anger and pain Da nossa raiva e nosso medo And you`ll feel the shame And you`ll feel the shame E você vai sentir toda a vergonha For what you do in gods name For what you do in gods name Daquilo que praticou em nome de Deus (Chorus) (Chorus) (Refrão) We will fight for the right to be free We will fight for the right to be free Vamos lutar pelo direito de sermos livres We will build our own society We will build our own society Vamos construir nossa própria sociedade And we will sing, we will sing And we will sing, we will sing E vamos cantar, vamos cantar We will sing our own song We will sing our own song Vamos cantar nossa própria canção When the ancient drum rythms ring When the ancient drum rythms ring Quando o ritmo antigo dos tambores soa The voice of our forefathers sings The voice of our forefathers sings A vos de nossos ancestrais ressoa Forward Africa run Forward Africa run Vamos correr em direção a África Our day of freedom has come Our day of freedom has come Nosso dia de libertação chegou For me and for you For me and for you Pra mim e pra você Amandla Awethu Amandla Awethu Amandla Awethu (Chorus) (Chorus) (Refrão) We will fight for the right to be free We will fight for the right to be free Vamos lutar pelo direito de sermos livres We will build our own society We will build our own society Vamos construir nossa própria sociedade And we will sing, we will sing And we will sing, we will sing E vamos cantar, vamos cantar We will sing our own song We will sing our own song Vamos cantar nossa própria canção
