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 colors
That I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those I'll proudly bend
For I am your only child
And you [A7my [A]dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the Power within.
For I am your only child
And you [A7my [A]dearest mystery
World can't you [A7see it?
Am I alone in my [A]belief?
Virando costas ao mundo
Orgulhosamente sós
Glória antiga, volta a nós!
Alma mater!
Breaking waves announce my [A]Bride
It is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I cannot spring
At the Moon [C7]Mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory we'll ɾegain or die
For I am her only child
And she is my [A]dearest mystery
Pagan Gods in conspiracy
For the sword of Tyranny
Mother Tongue has spoke to [C7]thee
In the stɾongest way they've ever seen
World can't you [A7see?
I am not alone in my [A]belief.
Alma mater!
Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente s's
Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!
Alma mater!
