An English version under the title "In Fatima's Cove" is on the net, but the text is awkward. I'd rather just tell everyone to sing the Portuguese.

Thank you both!

chonak, that text is definitely awkward. Charles, is the English translation you used less awkward than the one chonak posted?

I hope this pdf attaches.
Also, this is not the adult SATB arrangement I spoke of. I'll see if that can post.

And I never even heard of this hymn.

Of course, I've never lived anywhere with a large Portugese population. Nonetheless, I've saved both arrangements, just in case.

Nice arrangement, Charles.

About the choral version, verse 1, second system, measures 13-14: there is an elision of the words «da Iria» (pronounced like «day-REE-uh»). Thus the two eighth notes at the beginning of measure 14 are unnecessary; and impossible too, since the stress falls on the second «i» of «Iria»(not the first).

And, by the way, this is not exactly a «Traditional Portuguese» hymn: the author of the words is the Portuguese poet António Botto, that was expelled from his job as civil servant (for being homosexual, which was a crime back then), fled to Brazil (with his wife, who never abandoned him), tried to endear himself to the Patriarch of Lisbon António Cardinal Cerejeira by dedicating him this poem «A treze de Maio», but was not allowed to come back to Portugal, and died in poverty in Rio de Janeiro.

I have no idea who wrote the tune, but I may check my hymnals at home to see if there is any indication.

There might be more language versions than you think, e. g. also in Esperanto. But for the beginning I have attached the Bavarian text (Bavarian Book Language/Bairische Buechspraach).

i only knew the refrain and never knew there were verses. Wonderful.

That fits the tune, but it's not very similar in content: the original song tells the story of the apparitions:
"On May the thirteenth, at the Cova da Iria, appeared all radiant the Virgin Maria: Ave, ..."
"The Virgin Mary surrounded with light, our Blessed Mother and Mother of Christ..."
etc.

I'm intrigued by the scores posted here. I attended a marvelous 21 day pilgrimage to Fatima, Lourdes, Santiago de Compostela, Oviedo and more. I remember hearing this hymn, although I can't recount if it was just at Fatima or not (probably was during the evening rosary processions). One interesting thing, however, is I remember quite clearly that the melody of the refrain was sung ever-so-slightly different: (8th notes right at the end)
