Oxalá [English translation]

I hope

Don't you sadden my fado*

My real astral sign

You were born in the sea

In the westernmost

The sky you had illuminated

With your whole golden light

A sword that once you had raised up

And today it's almost nothing

Mystical golden light

I hope

Don't you sadden my fado

My real astral sign

You were born in the sea

In the westernmost

Give back my longing

I sing for you with all my voice

Your entire destiny

And I hope so...

Don't you sadden my fado

My real astral sign

Sleeping by the sea

Wake up Portugal

Wake up Portugal

Wake up Portugal

Wake up Portugal
