A minha terra é Viana
My homeland is Viana
Sou do monte e sou do mar
I'm from the mountains and I'm from the sea
Só dou o nome de terra
I only name the land
Onde o da minha chegar ó minha terra vestida
Where will my land reach, my clothed land?
De cor de folha de rosa
Pink leaf color
Ó brancos saios de Pena
O white feather skirts
Vermelhinhos de Areosa
Little Reds of Areosa
Virei costas à Galiza
I turned my back on Galicia
Voltei-me antes para o mar
I first turned to the sea
Santa Marta saias negras
Santa Marta black skirts
Tem vidrilhos de luar
It has moonlight windows
Dancei a gota em Carreço
I danced the drop in Carreço
O Verde Gaio em Afife dancei-o devagarinho
Verde Gaio in Afife I danced it slowly
Como a lei manda bailar
How the law tells us to dance
Como a lei manda bailar dancei em a Tirana
As the law requires dancing, I danced in Tirana
E dancei em todo o Minho
And I danced all over Minho
E quem diz Minho diz Viana
And whoever says Minho says Viana
Virei costas à Galiza
I turned my back on Galicia
Voltei-me então para o sol
Then I turned to the sun
Santa Marta saias verdes
Santa Marta green skirts
Deram-lhe o nome de azul
They called it blue
A minha terra é Viana
My homeland is Viana
São estas ruas estreitas
These are narrow streets
São os navios que partem
These are the ships that leave
E são as pedras que ficam
And it is the stones that remain
É este sol que me abraza
It's this sun that embraces me
Este amor que não engana
This love that doesn't deceive
Estas sombras que me assustam
These shadows that scare me
A minha terra é Viana
My homeland is Viana
Virei costas à Galiza
I turned my back on Galicia
Pus-me a remar contra o vento
I started rowing against the wind
Santa Marta saias rubras
Santa Marta red skirts
Da cor do meu pensamento
The color of my thoughts
