1974 年在葡萄牙，她自發性地向正在結束獨裁統治的士兵們贈送了紅色康乃馨，這場革命被稱為「康乃馨革命」。

And Ms. Caeiro was hailed when, despite ill health, she attended this year’s 50th anniversary commemorations of the April 25 revolution, carrying bunches of red carnations.

From her wheelchair, she could not reach up to put a flower in the cannon of one of the original armored cars from the coup. Her daughter, Helena Caeiro, and granddaughter — her only immediate survivors — did so for her as they and the crowd shouted the revolutionary slogan “Abril Sempre!” (April Forever!).

卡埃羅女士儘管健康狀況不佳，仍攜帶一束紅色康乃馨參加今年的 4 月 25 日革命 50 週年紀念活動，受到了熱烈歡迎。

她坐在輪椅上，無法伸手將一朵花放入政變中最初的一輛裝甲車的大砲中。她的女兒海倫娜·卡埃羅(Helena Caeiro) 和孫女（她唯一的直接倖存者）為她做了這件事，她們和人群一起高喊革命口號“四月四日！”(Abril Sempre! ) （永遠的四月！）。
