Grandola Vila Morena

"Grândola Vila Morena" is a Portuguese song by Zeca Afonso, that tells of the fraternity among the people of Grândola, a town in the Alentejo. The song was associated with Communism by the Salazar regime and as a result was banned from being played or broadcast. On April 25, 1974, at 12:15AM the song was broadcast on Portuguese radio as a signal to start the revolution that overthrew the regime; it thus became commonly associated with the Carnation Revolution and the beginning of democratic rule in Portugal.

À sombra duma azinheira In the shadow of a tree Que já não sabia a idade With unknown age Jurei ter por companheira I swore to have for partner Grândola a tua vontade Grândola, your wish
Grândola a tua vontade Grândola, your wish Jurei ter por companheira I swore to have for partner À sombra duma azinheira In the shadow of a tree Que já não sabia a idade With unknown age
