Alma Mater

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 sós Glória Antiga, volta a nós 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 Virando costas ao Mundo Orgulhosamente sós Glória Antiga, volta a nós Mother tongue has spoke 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 I can't really understand I only know that they are ours 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 sós Glória Antiga, volta a nós!
