"Pátria" (English: "Fatherland") is the national anthem of East Timor. It was originally adopted when East Timor unilaterally declared its independence from Portugal in 1975. However, this usage would be short-lived, when the country was invaded by Indonesia. It was officially re-adopted when the independence of East Timor was finally restored in 2002 following a United Nations intervention.[1][2]

The music was composed by Afonso Redentor Araújo, and the words were written by the poet Francisco Borja da Costa, who was killed by Indonesian forces at the time of the invasion. It was originally sung exclusively in Portuguese, however there is now a Tetum version.[3]

Legislation

The infraconstitutional officialization and the forms of ceremony of uses of the state anthem are regulated by the Law of the National Symbols of Timor-Leste.[4]

Lyrics

Portuguese original[5] Portuguese IPA transcription[lower-alpha 1] Tetun Dili lyrics[3] English translation

𝄆 Pátria, Pátria, Timor-Leste, nossa Nação.
Glória ao povo e aos heróis da nossa libertação. 𝄇

Vencemos o colonialismo, gritamos:
Abaixo o imperialismo.
Terra livre, povo livre,
Não, não, não à exploração.

Avante unidos firmes e decididos.
Na luta contra o imperialismo
O inimigo dos povos, até à vitória final.
Pelo caminho da revolução.

𝄆 Fatherland, fatherland, East Timor our Nation.
Glory to the people and to the heroes of our liberation. 𝄇

We vanquish colonialism, we cry:
down with imperialism!
Free land, free people,
No, no, no to exploitation.

Let us go forward, united, firm, and determined
In the struggle against imperialism,
enemy of the people, until final victory,
onward to revolution.
