The Hymno da Carta (English: Hymn of the Charter, modern Portuguese spelling: Hino da Carta) was officially proclaimed the national anthem of the Kingdom of Portugal in May 1834.

[1] It was composed by King Pedro IV of Portugal.

"Carta" stands for the Constitutional Charter which Pedro IV granted to Portugal.

The anthem remained officially in place until 19 July 1911,[2] nine months after Portugal became a republic, and was replaced by A Portuguesa.

Oh com quanto desafogo Na comum agitação Dá vigor às almas todas, Divinal Constituição Oh with what relief In the common agitation It gives vigor to all souls, Our Divine Constitution Venturosos nós seremos Em perfeita união, Tendo sempre em vista todos Divinal Constituição Fortunate we shall be In perfect union, Always bearing in sight Our Divine Constitution A verdade não se ofusca, O Rei não s'engana, não, Proclamemos, Portugueses, Divinal Constituição The truth cannot be obscured, The King can never do wrong, Portuguese, let us proclaim Our Divine Constitution
