Portuguese lyrics

: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.

:CHORUS::Viva a pátria gloriosa!:Floriu nos céus a bandeira da luta.:Avante, contra o jugo estrangeiro!:Nós vamos construir:Na pátria immortal:A paz e o progresso!:Nós vamos construir:Na pátria imortal:A paz e o progresso! 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.

:CHORUS

English translation

: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 country.

: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!:The sea and the land,:The dawn and the sun are singing:That our struggle has borne fruit!

:CHORUS
