Pela Patria
Pela Patria (“For the Fatherland”, a phrase from the Portuguese National Anthem) was a monthly Magazine published in 1940-41 by the Portuguese community in Shanghai. About half of the articles are in Portuguese and half in English. It captured an invaluable record of the life and people in that city, four years after occupation by the Japanese in 1937, and contains many photos of Macanese (unfortunately, of poor quality). The community there, feeling under threat and obviously economically stressed and insecure, tried hard to maintain their Portuguese identity and cohesion with articles on Portuguese history and culture, through social events, and by promoting lessons on the Portuguese language. But it could not last: with the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific in December 1941 the whole community dispersed, never to reassemble.
We are fortunate that a bound copy of the entire series survives in the JM Braga Collection in the National Library of Australia. Its hundreds of pages were laboriously photographed by and reproduced here.

Arts and Architecture
S. Paulo: The dominant and unforgettable symbol of Macau for the last 400 years has been the great Church of the Mother of God (commonly called St Paul), begun in 1602. The façade, all that now remains, was completed in 1637. The church itself was destroyed by fire in 1835, but the great stone facade endures, the finest European building in the Far East. Several recent books celebrate Macau’s unique heritage of church and military architecture.

A monthly Magazine published in 1940-41 by the Portuguese community in Shanghai. About half of the articles are in Portuguese, the rest in English. It provides valuable insight into life in that city, four years after occupation by the Japanese in 1937, and contains many photos of Macanese. The community there, feeling under threat and obviously economically stressed and insecure, tried hard to maintain their Portuguese identity and cohesion with articles on Portuguese history and culture, through social events, and by promoting lessons on the Portuguese language. But it could not last: with the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific in December 1941 the whole community dispersed, never to reassemble.

Pela Patria
Pela Patria (“For the Fatherland”, a phrase from the Portuguese National Anthem) was a monthly Magazine published in 1940-41 by the Portuguese community in Shanghai. About half of the articles are in Portuguese and half in English. It captured an invaluable record of the life and people in that city, four years after occupation by the Japanese in 1937, and contains many photos of Macanese (unfortunately, of poor quality). The community there, feeling under threat and obviously economically stressed and insecure, tried hard to maintain their Portuguese identity and cohesion with articles on Portuguese history and culture, through social events, and by promoting lessons on the Portuguese language. But it could not last: with the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific in December 1941 the whole community dispersed, never to reassemble.
We are fortunate that a bound copy of the entire series survives in the JM Braga Collection in the class=”ix”National Library of Australia. Its hundreds of pages were laboriously photographed by and reproduced here.

An intelligent book that goes well beyond the tourist brochures. It does not only deal with the old monuments. You might like to look at this for a general introduction to Macau.

Heróis do mar, nobre povo, Naçao valente, imortal, Levantai hoje de novo Os esplendor de Portugal Entre as brumas da memória. Ó Pátria sente-se a voz Dos teus egrégios avós Que há-de guiar-te à vitória. |
Heroes of the sea, noble people, Valiant and immortal nation, Raise once again today The splendour of Portugal! Among the haze of memory, Oh Fatherland, one feels the voice Of your distinguished forefathers, Who shall lead you to victory! |
|
O refrão: Às armas! Às armas! Sobre a terra, sobre o mar! Às armas! Às armas! Pela Pátria lutar! Contra os canhões marchar, marchar! |
Chorus: To arms, to arms! Over land, over sea, To arms, to arms! For the Fatherland, fight! Against the cannons, march on, march on! |
|
Desfralda a invicta bandeira À luz viva do teu céu Brade à Europa à terra inteira Portugal não pereceu! Beija o solo teu jucundo O oceano a rujir d’amor; E o teu braço vencedor Deu mundos novos ao mundo! |
Hoist the undefeated flag, In the lively light of your sky! May Europe cry out to the whole Earth: Portugal has not perished Kiss your happy soil The ocean, roaring with love, And your victorious arm Gave new worlds to the world! |

Saudai o Sol que desponta Sobre um ridente porvir; Seja o eco de uma afronta O sinal do ressurgir. Raios dessa aurora forte São como beijos de mãe, Que nos guardam, nos sustêm, Contra as injúrias da sorte. |
Salute the Sun that rises Over a gleeful future; Let the echo of an offense Be the sign for a comeback. Rays of this strong dawn Are like a mother’s kisses, That keep us, sustain us, Against the injuries of fate. |

Maria da Fonte
|
Os membros portugueses do Corpo Voluntário de Defesa de Hong Kong adoptaram, nos campos de prisioneiros-de-guerra, uma marcha, “Maria da Fonte”*. De acordo com Luigi Gosano, os japoneses proibiram o canto de qualquer Hino Nacional, então, os prisioneiros portugueses animavam os espíritos a cantar “Maria da Fonte”. O livro de Les Fisher, I will Remember p. 119, dá um relato ligeiramente diferente (em inglês): Na mesma noite, o contingente de 200 pessoas partiu para destino desconhecido. Na saída os rapazes deram três vivas ao comandante do acampamento Honda, porque ele é o único que tivemos que foi decente conosco. Ao saírem cantaram uma canção de marcha portuguesa. Honda e todos os guardas ficaram em posição de sentido pensando que era o hino nacional. * Maria foi uma mulher da freguesia de Fontarcada que iniciou uma revolução na região do Minho, Portugal, em 1846 contra as políticas impopulares do ministro do governo António Bernardo da Costa Cabral. Isto deu origem à queda do governo. A revolução do Minho ficou com o nome dela. Angelo Frondoni compôs esta música que rapidamente ganhou popularidade e se tornou quase num segundo hino nacional português. |
The Portuguese members of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps adopted The same evening the draft of 200 left for an unknown destination. As it left the lads gave three cheers for the camp commandant Honda, because he is the only one we have had who has been decent to us. As they left they sang a Portuguese marching song. Honda and all the guards then stood to attention thinking it was the national anthem. * Maria was a woman from the parish of Fontarcada in Portugal who sparked an uprising in the district of Minho, Portugal in 1846 against the unpopular policies of government minister António Bernardo da Costa Cabral. This led to the overthrow of the government. The Minho Revolution was named after her. Angelo Frondoni composed this tune which quickly gained popularity and is almost a second Portuguese national anthem. |

A popular traditional Portuguese song with Macanese words
PatuáUnga casa macaísta vôs olá Têm carinho na pobréza Si têm gente batê pórta pôde entrá Vêm comê cô nos na mêsa Genti pobre, genti rico sâ gostá Cativá tudo visita Masqui seza unga casita Têm su chiste cô alegria Tudo óra, tudo dia.
Mêsa cô toália bordado Vaso di fûla na châm Pisunto china bafado Têm galinha, têm capám. Porco balichám tamarinho Vaca chaucháu maragoso: Unga caneca cô vinho Quanto bebinga sábrôso Unga casa macaísta fazê vista Sâ fazê vista unga casa macaísta
Siara-siara sabe abrí su coraçám Lôgo ri pa tudo genti Na janela sâ cherá mangericám Fazê vôs ficá contente. Tem biscoito cô ôbrêa na fontám Camalénga feto dóci Chá-co-sucri dóci-dóci Tudo óra têm na mesa Quim querê fazê fineza. |
Attempt at translation to EnglishA Macanese house, you will find Has love even in poverty Anyone knocking on the door can enter And eat with us at the table. Both the poor and the rich like to be charmed on every visit. Although the house might be small it is enlivened by joy all the time, every day.
The table set with embroidered cloth A flower pot on the floor There is boiled Chinese ham There is chicken, there is capon Pork with tamarind and balichão Beef stir-fried with bitter melon A jug of wine So many tasty puddings A Macanese house is something to behold Quite a sight is a Macanese house.
The ladies know how to open their hearts They will laugh at all the people At the window wafts the scent of basil To lift your spirits. There are wafer biscuits in the pantry Candied winter melon Tea sweetened with sugar Is always at the table Whoever wants to can be polite. |
