A poc a poc [English translation]

Slowly, the time arrives for me

To spread my wings

And, while I provide my ship

With white sails,

I dress this harsh body of mine

With the disguise of an expert sailor;

I weigh anchor with the wind of my West...

Slowly, we have also learned

While loving you,

That there isn't a yoke that can last forever more

If, with hope,

Through the edges of a strong dream

We destroy the shadows,

We find answers!

[Chorus:]

How often and 'till when will we need to raise

Our chant, our voices?

How often and 'till when, so that tomorrow

Will only be an epic deed of freedom?

[Bridge:]

I love it just like that,

This world that is approaching!

I love you thus,

When you make it draw nearer

With nervousness, with effort,

Rebellious!

[Instrumental]

Slowly and with much strength, revives

So much memory...

The old worries and those designs,

Are now ours!

Slowly and filled with pride,

We restart the old future

Which must take us beyond and even further...

Slowly, freedom

Opens the locked gates

For the dreams of so many downcast nations,

Which drive the dawn forward.

And, on the horizon, it points out the beacons

To both people and languages,

Which are clamouring all over.

[Chorus:]

How often and 'till when will we need to raise

Our chant, our voices?

How often and 'till when, so that tomorrow

Will only be an epic deed of freedom?

(Now, I see the people...

The people... Ah!)

[Bridge:]

I love it just like that,

This world that is approaching!

I love you thus,

When you make it draw nearer

With nervousness, with effort,

Rebellious!

(Oh, Motherland and pride of mine...

Oh, the people... Ah!)
