Lyrics and translation Dulce Pontes - O Infante (Live)

O Infante (Live)

Deus quer, o homem sonha, a obra nasce
Deus quis que a Terra fosse toda uma
Que o mar unisse, já não separasse
Sagrou-te e foste desvendando a espuma

E a orla branca foi
De ilha em continente
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
Surgir redonda do azul profundo

Quem te sagrou, criou-te português
Do mar e nós em ti nos deu sinal
Cumpriu-se o mar e o império se desfez
Senhor, falta cumprir-se Portugal

E a orla branca foi
De ilha em continente
Clareou correndo até ao fim do mundo
E viu-se a terra inteira, de repente
Surgir redonda do azul profundo

O Infante (Live)

God wills, man dreams, the work is born
God wanted the Earth to be one whole
That the sea would unite, no longer separate
He consecrated you, and you went on unfolding the foam

And the white edge was
From island to continent
It dawned, running to the end of the world
And suddenly the whole earth was seen
Emerging round from the deep blue

He who consecrated you created you Portuguese
Of the sea, and in you he gave us a sign
The sea was fulfilled and the empire was dissolved
Sir, Portugal still needs to be fulfilled

And the white edge was
From island to continent
It dawned, running to the end of the world
And suddenly the whole earth was seen
Emerging round from the deep blue
