Angola, a country of future
Time for uncertainty is gone,
Of wishing to be and cannot be.
The faith of believing
To be the difference has come in time.
Black and white is gone
Open wounds and uncertain wills,
Light came from darkness
And then it’s built the Angola of the future.
For hand to hand games,
Angola welcomes you!
Angola welcomes you
To the CAN of 2010
