LETTERS TO DESTINY © 2012

New Anthem of Portugal

To the letters, to the letters,

In this era, everywhere,

May knowledge bloom freely,

And the mind begin to awaken.

To the letters, to the letters,

To inspire the homeland,

For only in the light of knowledge

Can we embrace the future.

Against ignorance,

Study, study,

May the book be our weapon,

And wisdom our home.

Let in every corner of the nation,

The letters resonate with strength,

For it is in shared knowledge

That a better world is built.

To the letters, to the letters,

Fearlessly moving forward,

Against the darkness of ignorance,

Education shall shine!
