 (Riff 2)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!

 (Riff 2)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 can't you see it
         Am I alone in my belief?

         Virando costas ao Mundo
         Orgulhosamente sos
         Gloria Antiga
         Volta a nos!

         ALMA MATER!

 (Riff 2)

 (Riff 2)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
         We'll regain or die!

 (Riff 2)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!

 (Riff 3)Virando costas ao Mundo
         Orgulhosamente sos
         Gloria Antiga
         Volta a nos!

         ALMA MATER!
