O tempo das romarias
Fê-lo Deus em Portugal.
Lá vai o Sol, todo em festa,
De arraial em arraial!
Oh que linda capelinha,
No meio do seu terreiro!
Parece um andor de neve,
Aos ombros do verde outeiro.
 
Chegam romeiros de longe,
Por devoção às romeiras:
Dão-lhes anéis, dão-lhes doces;
Provam-se as frutas primeiras.
Tamborileiros, em ronda,
Atroam vale e montanha:
Vão-se os montes de arrancada...
Portugal de encontro à Espanha!
Há descantes; há derriços;
O povo torna a ser povo...
O' meu velho Portugal,...
Alegre de vinho novo!

Composition:

    Set to music by Antonio Lima Fragoso (1897 - 1918), "A primeira romaria" [ voice and piano ], from Canções do Sol Poente, no. 4
