The Portuguese fleet
Brave and bold
Met the forces of
The sultan's hold
In the year of
Fifteen-zero-nine
When empires clashed
In lands divine
From dawn's first light
To the dusk's embrace
They fought with honor
They held their place
In the year of
Fifteen-zero-nine
When empires clashed
In lands divine
When cannons roared
The sails were high
Beneath the blazing
Eastern sky
With valor's heart
And steely eye
They fought to live
They fought to die
When cannons roared
The sails were high
Beneath the blazing
Eastern sky
With valor's heart
And steely eye
They fought to live
They fought to die
