Macau, Macau
Of Portuguese scent
You once were the gem
Of the whole Orient

Nineteen ninety-nine
A year that will last
In their minds forever
Drawing tears from the past

Suppression of pirates
In which they helped fend
Led to this great gift
By their Mandarin friends

Four hundred and forty-two
Years have gone by
A memorable service
No one can deny

Scanning the great oceans
So the whole world could meet
Trading your great fortunes
Cotton, gold, ivory

Your junks sail with charm
Along the South China Sea
And may long live the soul
Of the ol’ Macanese
