Alma Mater

AH!

Mother tongue speaks to me

In the strangest ways I've ever seen

I know that she sees in me

Her proud child, her purest breed

She speaks to me in colors

That 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 my dearest mystery

From an ancient throne I defy the world

To kneel before the power within

For I am her only child

And she's 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 ride

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 they cry

Your lost glory we'll regain or die

For I am her only child

And she's my dearest mystery

Pagan gods in conspiracy

For the sword of tyranny

Mother tongue has spoke to thee

The strongest way they've ever seen

World, can't you see?

I'm not alone in my belief

(Virando costas ao mundo)

(Orgulhosamente sós)

(Glória antiga, volta a nós)

And to those I'll proudly bend

And she's 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's my dearest tragedy

World, can't you see it?

I'm not alone in my belief
