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 ? Am 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 !
