Do vale à montanha e do mar à serra,

Teu povo humilde, estóico e valente

Entre a rocha dura te lavrou a terra,

Para lançar, do pão, a semente:

Herói do trabalho na montanha agreste,

Que se fez ao mar em vagas procelosas:

Os louros da vitória, em tuas mãos calosas

Foram a herança que a teus filhos deste.

Por esse Mundo além

Madeira teu nome continua

Em teus filhos saudosos

Que além fronteiras

De ti se mostram orgulhosos.

Por esse Mundo além,

Madeira, honraremos tua História

Na senda do trabalho

Nós lutaremos

Alcançaremos

Teu bem-estar e glória.

From the valley to the mountain and from the sea to the highlands,

Thy humble people, stoic and brave

Amidst the hard stone plowed thine land,

To cast, of the bread, the seed:

Hero of the labour of the harsh mountain,

Cast to the sea in tormenteous waves:

The laurels of victory, in thy callous hands,

Were the heritage bestowed to thine children.

In this World beyond

Madeira thy name continues

In thy longing children

That in distant lands

Show themselves proud of thee.

In this World beyond,

Madeira, we shall honour thy History

In the path of labour

We shall struggle

And achieve

Thine well-being and glory.
