Sol Nascente [English translation]

To sing I left my home and got away in a ship through the sea

One day we left Lisbon in a breeze of whistling wind

We said goodbye to everyone, said goodbye to life

We were few but filled with joy

And it was so long ago and I never forgot.

In view of Japan, we sang a love song to the rising sun

To the sun that rises here and the whole sky returns to my country

The longing for Portugal is always so unique that it makes the sun bright

Oriental sunrise and through love to come and sleep in Portugal

Who knows how hopeful they were, the moments that connected two worlds

Forever to be remembered for the Spring: the country of lovers

Sailors in love, lost on the Seven Seas

Who wanted to be the first to learn how to navigate

And it was so long ago and I never forgot.

In view of Japan, they sang a love song to the rising sun

To the sun that rises here and the whole sky returns to my country

The longing for Portugal is always so unique that even the sun reigns

It rose in the east and through love came to sleep in Portugal
