Your National Anthem

[Damião de Góis]

Here is ours. It was made in 1890 by republicans. I don't think it's special.

Heróis do mar, nobre povo,
Nação valente, imortal,
Levantai hoje de novo
O esplendor de Portugal!
Entre as brumas da memória,
Ó Pátria sente-se a voz
Dos teus egrégios avós,
Que há-de guiar-te à vitória!

Às armas, às armas!
Sobre a terra, sobre o mar,
Às armas, às armas!
Pela Pátria lutar!
Contra os canhões
marchar, marchar!

-----

(rough translation)

Heroes of the sea, noble people,
Brave and immortal nation,
Rise once again today,
The splendor of Portugal!
Among the haze of memory,
Oh Fatherland, one feels the voice
Of your distinguished forefathers,
That shall lead you to victory!

To arms, to arms!
Over land, over sea,
To arms, to arms!
For the Fatherland, fight!
Against the cannons, march on, march on!

The lyrics changed in 1957 because the original version was written in a different context and was anti-english because of the Pink Map

Ode to joy.

Here is ours. It was made in 1890 by republicans.

The first one is more like a battlecry.

[Comte Arnau]

Catalonia triumphant
shall again be rich and bountiful.
Drive away these oppressors
So conceited and contemptful.

Strike with your sickle!
Strike with your sickle, defenders of the land!
Strike with your sickle!

Now is the time, reapers.
Now is the time to stand alert.
For when another June comes
let us sharpen well our tools.

May the enemy tremble,
upon seeing our flag.
Just as we cut golden ears of wheat,
when the time calls we cut off chains.

I really like the Spanish one, the text always makes me cry

[Illancha]

Strike with your sickle!
Strike with your sickle, defenders of the land!
Strike with your sickle!

Not the most common of weapons to be glorified as such I must say.

Just beautiful

[Damião de Góis]

The first one is more like a battlecry.

Yes it still is. The only thing that changed was at who was the battlecry against.
