O Infante Lyrics Translation in English
Dulce Pontes
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Deus quer, o homem sonha, a obra nasce
God wills, man dreams, the work is born
Deus quis que a Terra fosse toda uma
God wanted the Earth to be one
Que o mar unisse, já não separasse
That the sea unites, no longer separates
Sagrou-te e foste desvendando a espuma
Consecrated you, and you unveiled the foam
E a orla branca foi
And the white fringe was
De ilha em continente
From island to continent
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
It brightened, running to the end of the world
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
And the entire land was seen suddenly
Surgir redonda do azul profundo
Emerging round from the deep blue
Quem te sagrou, criou-te português
He who consecrated you made you Portuguese
Do mar e nós em ti nos deu sinal
From the sea and us in you, he gave us a sign
Cumpriu-se o mar e o império se desfez
The sea was fulfilled, and the empire dissolved
Senhor, falta cumprir-se Portugal
Lord, Portugal remains to be fulfilled
E a orla branca foi
And the white fringe was
De ilha em continente
From island to continent
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
It brightened, running to the end of the world
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
And the entire land was seen suddenly
Surgir redonda do azul profundo
Emerging round from the deep blue
