Era um mundo novo
Um sonho de poetas
Ir até ao fim
Cantar novas vitórias
E erguer orgulhosas bandeiras
Viver aventuras guerreiras
Foram mil epopeias
Vidas tão cheias
Foram oceanos de amor

Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique, Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor!
Já fui um conquistador

Era todo um povo
Guiado pelos céus
Espalhou-se pelo mundo
Seguindo os seus heróis
E levaram a luz da cultura
Semearam laços de ternura
Foram mil epopeias
Vidas tão cheias
Foram oceanos de amor

Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique, Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor!
Já fui um conquistador

Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique, Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor!
Já fui um conquistador

Foram dias e dias
E meses e anos no mar
Percorrendo uma estrada de estrelas
A conquistar

Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique, Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor!
Já fui um conquistador

Já fui ao Brasil, Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique, Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor!
Já fui um conquistador

Fui conquistador
Fui conquistador
Fui conquistador[1]

It was a new world
A poet's dream
To go far away
Singing new victories
And to raise flags proudly
To live warrior adventures
A thousand epic poems
Life is so full
There were oceans of love

I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau
Angola, Mozambique, Goa and Macao
Oh, I've been to Timor!
I've been a conqueror

A whole nation
Guided by the skies
Spread around the world
Following their heroes
And they brought the light of culture
They made tender seeds grow
A thousand epic poems
Life is so full
There were oceans of love

I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau
Angola, Mozambique, Goa and Macao
Oh, I've been to Timor!
I've been a conqueror

I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau
Angola, Mozambique, Goa and Macao
Oh, I've been to Timor!
I've been a conqueror

Days after days
Months and years on the sea
Following a trail of stars
To conquer

I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau
Angola, Mozambique, Goa and Macao
Oh, I've been to Timor!
I've been a conqueror

I've been to Brazil, Praia and Bissau
Angola, Mozambique, Goa and Macao
Oh, I've been to Timor!
I've been a conqueror

I've been a conqueror
I've been a conqueror
I've been a conqueror
