Lyrics of the Brazilian National Anthem

They heard the placid shores from Ipiranga
From a heroic people the resounding cry
And the sun of freedom, in blazing rays
It shone in the sky of the motherland at that moment

If the pledge of this equality
We managed to conquer with a strong arm
In your bosom, O freedom
Death itself defies our chest!

o beloved homeland
Worshiped
Save! Save!

Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray
From love and hope to the earth descends
If in your beautiful sky, smiling and clear
The image of the cruise shines

Giant by nature
You are beautiful, you are strong, fearless colossus
And your future mirrors that greatness

adored land
Among other thousand
it's you, Brazil
O beloved homeland!
Of the children of this soil you are a gentle mother
Beloved homeland
Brazil!

II

Eternally lying in a splendid cradle
To the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky
Fulguras, oh Brazil, flower of America
Illuminated in the sun of the new world!

Than the brightest land
Your smiling, beautiful fields have more flowers
"Our forests have more life"
"Our life" in your bosom "more loves"

o beloved homeland
Worshiped
Save! Save!

Brazil, of eternal love, be a symbol
The labar that bears stars
And say the blond green of that streamer
peace in the future and glory in the past

But if you raise the strong club from justice
You will see that a son of yours doesn't run away from the fight
Don't even fear, who loves you, death itself

adored land
Among other thousand
it's you, Brazil
O beloved homeland!

Of the children of this soil you are a gentle mother
Beloved homeland
Brazil!
