Pensei que ias aproveitar para mencionar que não há um futebolista internacional pela seleção de Portugal que não cante "sente-se a voz dos teus egrégios avós que HÃO de guiar-te à vitória", cometendo um erro básico de aplicação de plural ou singular. Há que reconhecer que a voz dos egrégios avós guiar à vitória parece quase tão improvável como serem os próprios egrégios avós a guiar à vitória; enfim, há de ser sempre uma coisa que pode acontecer no futuro. Ou não.
I didn't know about the Portugal National Anthem until I stumbled upon this video, so I did a little bit of research about it. The wiki said this song was actually a patriotic response to the British demand that Portugal should refrain from colonizing more lands in Africa. I was surprised that the new republic chose to keep a song that called for more colonization as a national anthem, given that the carnation revolution was about ending the disastrous colony wars. Seems a bit ironic to me.
Thank you for watching the video. The republic put in place by the 1910 revolution cared as much about the colonies as the monarchy before it and the Estado Novo regime (from 1933 to the Carnation Revolution in 1974). Keeping the Portuguese colonies in Africa was so important to the republic that it led Portugal to another disastrous participation in a war (World War One). Even in 1974, independence of the African territories was, to many, more a means to end the colonial war than a manifestation of opposition against colonialism or a recognition of a just desire for independence.
@@SimpletonPortuguese is the countries relationship to colonisation discussed openly much now, ,post '74, with a younger, more global, population. Are there uncomfortable discussions at the Xmas dinner table about Portuguese colonial history with the elderly racist uncle ? In the UK a lot of apologists say that British colonisation was not all bad, we gave them trains, "democracy" and cricket! However there is also a strong counter-argument which the younger generation articulate.
@@thesmithsmaf Yes. We also have those discussions. Sometimes it's not even with elderly racist uncles, but with young and moderately open minded people who had a distorted point of view hammered into their heads. And it's funny because part of that way of seeing things includes the argument: The Portuguese were "mild" colonizers compared to the "cruel" British and French. Which is, of course, not true. They were all equally horrible.
Marching towards cannons is indeed not to be recommended, at anytime of day. I have yet to listen to the Pimba music you mention - someone at a dinner party I went to recently said she doubted I would like it but I shall investigate further. Muito obrigado Renato

Conseguirem dizer "egrégios" (em vez de "igrejos") já é esforço suficiente.
Muito obrigado pelo video- acho que muito importante a saber isso.
@@isaacb-24 De nada. Obrigado por veres.
Viva Portugal ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

É provável que não gostes. :) It's not good music. It suits a very specific type of party, but that's it.
Brilhante análise. Infelizmente, não me vou lembrar de nada disso.
@@ToddCarton Deixa lá. Nem eu.
É verdade que os jogadores de futebol conseguem destruir hinos nacionais do seu único jeito..!
Muitos têm mais talento para isso do que para jogar futebol.
@@SimpletonPortuguese Pois é! 😆
Poesia de amor comparada ao hino nacional francês. 😉
É verdade. Muito menos sangrento.
Traição vá direto para a prisão 😜
