Lyrics of O Infante - Dulce Pontes

O Infante (original)

Deus quer, o homem sonha, a obra nasce
Deus quis que a Terra fosse toda uma
Que o mar unisse, já não separasse
Sagrou-te e foste desvendando a espuma
E a orla branca foi de ilha em continente
Clareou, correndo até ao fim do mundo
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
Surgir redonda do azul profundo
Quem te sagrou, criou-te português
Do mar e nós em ti nos deu sinal
Cumpriu-se o mar e o império se desfez
Senhor, falta cumprir-se Portugal
E a orla branca foi de ilha em continente
Clareou, correndo até ao fim do mundo
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
Surgir redonda do azul profundo

(translation)

God wants, man dreams, the work is born
God wanted the Earth to be all one
May the sea unite, no longer separate
You were consecrated and unraveling the foam
And the white shore was from island in continent
It cleared, running to the end of the world
And the whole earth was seen, all of a sudden
Rise round from deep blue
Who consecrated you, created you Portuguese
The sea and we in you gave us a sign
The sea was fulfilled and the empire fell apart
Lord, Portugal remains to be fulfilled
And the white shore was from island in continent
It cleared, running to the end of the world
And the whole earth was seen, all of a sudden
Rise round from deep blue
