------------------------------------
Heróis do mar, nobre povo,
Nação valente, imortal
Levantai hoje de novo,
O esplendor de Portugal
Entre as brumas da memória,
O pátria sente-se a voz
Dos teus egrégios avós
Que há-de guiar-te à vitória.
As armas ! As armas !
Sobre a terra e sobre o mar !
As armas ! As armas !
Pela Pátria lutar !
Contra os canhoes marchar, marchar !
Desfralda a invicta bandeira
A luz viva do teu céu
Brade a Europa à terra inteira
Portugal não pereceu !
Beija o solo teu jucundo
O oceano a rujir d'amor
E o teu braço vencedor
Deu mundos novos ao Mundo !
[Refrain]
Saudai o sol que desponta
Sobre um ridente porvir ;
Seja o eco d'uma afronta
O sinal de ressurgir.
Raios d'essa aurora forte
São como beijos de mãe
Que nos guardam, nos sustem,
Contra as injúrias da sorte. .
