English translation
Sol, suor e o verde e mar,
Séculos de dor e esperança;
Esta é a terra dos nossos avós!
Fruto das nossas mãos,
Da flôr do nosso sangue:
Esta é a nossa pátria amada.
Coro :
Viva a pátria gloriosa!
Floriu nos céus a bandeira da luta.
Avante, contra o jugo estrangeiro!
Nós vamos construir
Na pátria imortal
A paz e o progresso!
Nós vamos construir
Na pátria imortal
A paz e o progresso!
Ramos do mesmo tronco,
Olhos na mesma luz:
Esta é a força da nossa união!
Cantem o mar e a terra
A madrugada e o sol
Que a nossa luta fecundou.
Coro
Sun, sweat, verdure , and sea ,
Centuries of pain and hope ;
This is the land of our ancestors .
Fruit of our hands,
Of the flower of our blood:
This is our beloved motherland .
Chorus :
Long live our glorious country !
The banner of our struggle
Has fluttered in the skies.
Forward, against the foreign yoke !
We are going to build
Peace and progress
In our immortal country !
Peace and progress
In our immortal country!
Branches of the same trunk,
Eyes in the same light;
This is the force of our unity!
Sing the sea and the land ,
The dawn and the sun
That our struggle has borne fruit!
Chorus
