Deus quer, o homem sonha, a obra nasce
God wants, men dream, the work in born
Deus quis que a Terra fosse toda uma
God wanted the Earth to be one
Que o mar unisse, já não separasse
And the sea would join it, not separate
Sagrou-te e foste desvendando a espuma
Devoted to you, and you were uncovering the foam
E a orla branca foi
And the white border went
De ilha em continente
From the island to the mainland
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
Cleared out, running until the end of the world
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
And you were able to see the whole earth, suddenly
Surgir redonda do azul profundo
Appear rounded in the deep blue
Quem te sagrou, criou-te português
Who devoted to you, made you portuguese
Do mar e nós em ti nos deu sinal
From the sea, and in you he gave us the sign
Cumpriu-se o mar e o império se desfez
The sea was made, and the empire fell apart
Senhor, falta cumprir-se Portugal
Lord, Portugal is still missing
E a orla branca foi
And the white border went
De ilha em continente
From the island to the mainland
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
Cleared out, running until the end of the world
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
And you were able to see the whole earth, suddenly
Surgir redonda do azul profundo
Appear rounded in the deep blue
