->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:

->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.

->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.

->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:

->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.

->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.

The territory was first claimed by Portuguese sailors in the service of Prince Henry the Navigator in 1419 and settled after 1420, with the archipelago being considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Portuguese Age of Discovery, which extended from 1415 to 1542. The island became a top sugarcane producer in that time, with African slaves being brought to the territory to cultivate sugar cane. However, sugar production was shifted to Portugal's other colonies in the 17th century, and wine overtook sugar as the primary engine of the territory's economy. The British briefly occupied the island in the early 1800's, and after the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, Charles (Karl) I, the last Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, went into exile in Madeira until his death, his coffin currently lying in a chapel of the church in Monte. After the Carnation Revolution of 1974, Portugal granted political autonomy to Madeira on the 1st of July, 1976, which is now celebrated every July 1st in the territory on Madeira Day, and the territory now has its own government and legislative assembly separate from Portugal's.
