In Portugal, a revolution stirred
With carnations as its symbol preferred
A peaceful coup that changed the tide
Of oppression, and the people’s pride
The scent of hope filled the air
As people sang and danced without a care
Freedom, democracy, and equality
The new anthem of the country’s reality
The carnation revolution, a momentous day
A time when people’s power had its say
It remains a symbol of what can be done
When people stand together as one.
