"Pátria" (English:"Fatherland") is thenational anthem ofTimor-Leste. It was originally adopted when East Timorunilaterally declared its independence fromPortugal in 1975. However, this usage would be short-lived, when the country wasinvaded by Indonesia. It was officially re-adopted when the independence of Timor-Leste was finally restored in 2002 following aUnited Nations intervention.[1][2]
The music was composed by Afonso Redentor Araújo, and the words were written by the poetFrancisco Borja da Costa, who was killed by Indonesian forces at the time of the invasion. It was originally sung exclusively inPortuguese, however there is now aTetum version.[3]
The infraconstitutional officialisation and the forms of ceremony of uses of the state anthem are regulated by the Law of the National Symbols of Timor-Leste.[4]
