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 Dr Stuart Braga and reproduced here.

Click to see its contents, which provide links to individual pages of the magazine and, for the Private website, hundreds of links to peoples' Personal Pages. Descendants of Macanese from Shanghai will enjoy browsing through the magazine and may even find mention of their relatives.

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 Dr Stuart Braga and reproduced here.

Click to see its contents, which provide links to individual pages of the magazine and, for the Private website, hundreds of links to peoples' Personal Pages. Descendants of Macanese from Shanghai will enjoy browsing through the magazine and may even find mention of their relatives.

Arte e ArquitecturaArt 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.

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 Dr Stuart Braga and reproduced here.

Click to see its contents, which provide links to individual pages of the magazine and, for the Private website, hundreds of links to peoples' Personal Pages. Descendants of Macanese from Shanghai will enjoy browsing through the magazine and may even find mention of their relatives.

Heróis do mar, nobre povo,
Naçao valente, imortal,

Ó Pátria sente-se a voz

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!

Hoist the undefeated flag,

May Europe cry out to the whole Earth:

Kiss your happy soil
The ocean, roaring with love,
And your victorious arm

Saudai o Sol que desponta

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:
The Portuguese members of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps adopted in Prisoner-of-War camp a rousing marching song, "Maria da Fonte"*. According to Luigi Gosano, the Japanese forbade the singing of any national anthem, so the Portuguese prisoners raised their spirits by singing instead "Maria da Fonte". Les Fisher's book, I will Remember p. 119, gives a slightly different account:
 
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 foi uma mulher do lugar de Fontarcada, em Portugal, 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.
*     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.

Unga 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.

Attempt at translation to English

A 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.
 

La Salle College (Kowloon) School Song
