Mother Tongue speaks to Me 
In the strongest way I¹ve ever seen 
I know that she sees in Me 
Her proudest child, her purest breed 
She speaks to me in colours 
That I can¹t really understand 
I only know that they are ours 
And to those I¹ll 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 she is my dearest mystery 
World can¹t you see it ? 
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 can not spring 
At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry 
Your lost glory we¹ll 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 they¹ve ever seen 
World can¹t you see ? 
I am not alone in my belief 
Alma mater ! 
Virando costas ao Mundo 
Orgulhosamente sós 
Glória Antiga, volta a nós! 
Alma mater !
