Lyrics for Hino do Vasco
Vamos todos cantar de coração
A Cruz de Malta é o meu pendão
Tu tens o nome de um heroico português
Vasco da Gama, a tua fama assim se fez!
Tua imensa torcida é bem feliz
Norte e sul
Norte e sul deste país
Tua estrela, na terra a brilhar, ilumina o mar!
No atletismo és um braço
No remo és imortal
No futebol és o traço de união Brasil-Portugal!

Let's sing with all our hearts
The Cross from Malta is my banner
You have the name of a Portuguese hero
Vasco da Gama, that's how you made your name!
All your fans are really happy
North and South
North and South of this country.
Your star, shining on the land illuminates the sea!
In athletics you are a force
In Rowing you are imortal
In football is the symbol of the union Brasil-Portugal!
