Mother Tongue speaks to Me
In the strongest way I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me

Her proudest child, her purest breed

She speaks to Me in colours

That I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those I'll proudly bend


For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery

From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the Power within.


For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
World can't you see it?

Am I alone in my belief?

Virando costas ao Mundo

Orgulhosamente s&;s
Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!


ALMA MATER!

Breaking waves announce my Bride

It is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I cannot spring


At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory we'll regain or die


For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery

Pagan Gods in conspiracy
For the sword of Tyranny


Mother Tongue has spoke to thee
In the strongest way they've ever seen
World can't you see ?

I am not alone in my belief.

ALMA MATER!


Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente s&;s

Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!

ALMA MATER!

Her proudest child, her purest breed


She speaks to Me in colours

and to those I'll proudly bend

For I am her only child

And she is my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the powers within.


For I am her only child
And she is my dearest tragedy

World can't you see it?
I am not alone in my belief.


Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente s&;s


ALMA MATER!
