History

The anthem was composed by João Víctor Costa (1939–2018), who was a composer and tenor from Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, on southern Madeira Island. Victor Costa studied singing and piano at the Diocesan Seminary of Funchal and the Academy of Music and Arts of Madeira. He later got a scholarship at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and went to Munich, Germany. He composed hundreds of pieces, including 16 hymns and more than 100 classical songs, and created nine choirs. He was honoured by Câmara de Lobos City Council, Madeira's Conservatory of Music and Funchal City Hall in 2011, 2015 and 2016, respectively.^[3]

Lyrics

Portuguese original[4]	IPA transcription[a]	English translation
I Do vale à montanha e do mar à serra, Teu povo humilde, estóico e valente Entre a rocha dura te lavrou a terra, Para lançar, do pão, a semente: II Herói do trabalho na montanha agreste, Que se fez ao mar em vagas procelosas: Os louros da vitória, em tuas mãos calosas Foram a herança que a teus filhos deste. Coro: Por esse Mundo além Madeira teu nome continua Em teus filhos saudosos Que além fronteiras De ti se mostram orgulhosos. Por esse Mundo além, Madeira, honraremos tua História Na senda do trabalho Nós lutaremos Alcançaremos Teu bem-estar e glória.	1 [du ˈva.ɫ‿a mõ.ˈtɐ.ɲɐ i du maɾ a ˈsɛ.ʁɐ] [tew ˈpo.vu‿u.ˈmiɫ.dɨ ɨʃ.ˈtɔj.ku‿i vɐ.ˈɫẽ.tɨ] [ˈẽ.tɾɨ‿ɐ ˈʁɔ.ʃɐ ˈdu.ɾɐ tɨ ɫɐv.ˈɾo(w) ɐ ˈtɛ.ʁɐ] [ˈpɐ.ɾɐ ɫɐ̃.ˈsaɾ du pɐ̃w̃ ɐ sɨ.ˈmẽ.tɨ] 2 [e.ˈɾɔj du tɾɐ.ˈba.ʎu nɐ mõ.ˈtɐ.ɲɐ‿ɐ.ˈɡɾɛʃ.tɨ] [kɨ sɨ fez aw maɾ ɐ̃j̃ ˈva.ɡɐʃ pɾu.sɨ.ˈɫo.zɐʃ] [uʒ ˈlo(w).ɾuʒ dɐ vi.ˈtɔ.ɾjɐ ɐ̃j̃ ˈtu.ɐʒ mɐ̃w̃ʃ kɐ.ˈɫo.zɐʃ] [ˈfo.ɾɐ̃w̃ ɐ‿e.ˈɾɐ̃.sɐ kɨ‿ɐ tewʃ ˈfi.ʎuʒ ˈdeʃ.tɨ] [ko.ɾu] [puɾ ˈe.sɨ ˈmũ.du‿a.ˈɫɐ̃j̃] [mɐ.ˈdɐj.ɾɐ tew ˈno.mɨ kõ.ti.ˈnu.ɐ] [ɐ̃j̃ tewʃ ˈfi.ʎuʃ sɐw.ˈdo.zuʃ] [kɨ‿a.ˈɫɐ̃j̃ fɾõ.ˈtɐj.ɾɐʒ] [dɨ ti sɨ ˈmɔs.tɾɐ̃w̃ oɾ.gu.ˈʎo.zuʃ] [puɾ ˈe.sɨ ˈmũ.du‿a.ˈɫɐ̃j̃] [mɐ.ˈdɐj.ɾɐ‿õ.ʁɐ.ˈɾe.muʃ ˈtu.ɐ‿iʃ.ˈtɔ.ɾjɐ] [nɐ ˈsẽ.dɐ du tɾɐ.ˈba.ʎu] [nɔʒ ɫu.tɐ.ˈɾe.muz] [aɫ.kɐ̃.sɐ.ˈɾe.muʃ] [tew bɐ̃j̃.ɨʃ.ˈtaɾ i ˈɡɫɔ.ɾjɐ]	I From the valley to the mountain and from the sea to the highlands, Your humble, stoic and brave people Between the hard rock the earth ploughed you, To cast, from the bread, the seed: II Hero of labour in the harsh mountain, Which made itself to the sea in tempestuous waves: The laurels of victory, in your callous hands, Were the heritage that you gave your children. Chorus: For this World beyond Madeira your name continues In your longing children That beyond borders Show themselves proud of you. For this World beyond, Madeira, we will honour your history In the path of labour We will struggle Will reach Your well-being and glory.
