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 all 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 revealed the foam


E a orla branca foi de ilha em continente

And the white edge went 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 earth 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 in you, 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
