O noble homeland, cradle of bold heroes,
Whose splendor shone on vast seas,
In hearts, your spirit nestled,
Fertile in dreams and victories you lie.
In navigations, you raised the banners,
Opening paths through the unknown,
Your name echoes, glorious and fearless,
In every corner, in a thousand and one arts.
Belém Tower, guardian of our history,
Sea and sky meet in your glory,
A faithful portrait of a unique people.
Oh Portugal, of navigators and poets,
Your exploits are favorite legends,
And in your bosom, I will love you forever.
Oh Noble Homeland ends with a declaration of eternal love for Portugal, a place where the exploits of navigators and the beauty of the arts meet. The sonnet praises the Belém Tower as the guardian of history and the heroic deeds that made the country a living legend. The feeling of belonging and admiration for this unique homeland prevails throughout the poem, ending with a powerful statement of devotion and pride.
