Poll - Your opinion about Portugal

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 e sobre o mar!
Às armas! Às armas!
Pela Pátria lutar!
Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!
