Flag of Portugal

Hymn

Portuguésa:

Heroes of the sea, noble people;
Brave and immortal nation.
Now the hour has come to show
Portugal's splendor once again.
From the mists of the past,
O fatherland, we hear the voices
Of our ancient forefathers.
This shall lead us to victory!

Refrain

To arms, arms;
By land and sea!
To arms, to arms;
To defend our fatherland!

To march against the enemy's guns!

Unfurl the invincible flag
In the radiant light of thy skies
Europe proclaim, and all the world too,
That Portugal was not vanquished.
Thy happy fatherland is kissed;
By the ocean that murmurs full of love.
And thy conquering explorer arm
Has given the world new lands.

Refrain

Greet the rising sun,
Which points a flourishing future.
Let the fading of the past
Be the signal for our new beginning.
The rays of this momentous beginning
Are like the mother's kisses,
That protect and support us
In the struggle against the waves of fate.
