Sâo Tomé Na Equador [English translation]

São Tomé, you have many of us

You are part of our history and our pain

In your nectar you have Bantu, Creole and Angolan

São Tomé, you have many of us

You are part of our history and our pain

São Tomé, in your veins run only one blood

You were a place of suffering, but you can give happiness

If you behold all your children

São Tomé, you have richness

But the biggest treasure is the value and love

Of all your children

And their will of living together

In a small land where the green is greener

São Tomé, São Tomé

Don't forget who you fight for

São Tomé, São Tomé

In the equator of our pain

São Tomé, São Tomé

The long road is already coming closer

Much closer of your future

The past is only weight

Resentment doesn't build anything

Reality is forgiviness

And forgiviness can be the union

Of all your children, São Tomé
