Hino Nacional Brasileiro
Ayu Brazil
Brazilian National Anthem
They heard from Ipiranga's placid shores
The resounding shout of a heroic people
And the sun of freedom, in shining rays
Shone in the homeland's sky at that moment
If the pledge of this equality
We managed to achieve with strong arm
In your bosom, oh freedom
Our chest defies death itself!
Beloved homeland
Idolized
Hail! Hail!
Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray
Of love and hope descends to earth
If in your beautiful, smiling and clear sky
The image of the Southern Cross shines
Giant by your own nature
You are beautiful, strong, a fearless colossus
And your future reflects this greatness
Adored land
Among a thousand others
It is you, Brazil
Beloved homeland!
Of the sons of this land you are a gentle mother
Beloved homeland
Brazil!
II
Eternally laid in splendid cradle
To the sound of the sea and the deep sky's light
You shine, oh Brazil, America's gem
Illuminated by the sun of the new world!
Of all lands the most beautiful
Your smiling, beautiful fields have more flowers
'Our forests have more life'
'Our life' in your bosom 'more loves'
Beloved homeland
Idolized
Hail! Hail!
Brazil, may eternal love be your symbol
The flag you carry is starry
And may the green-gold of this flag
- Peace in the future and glory in the past
But if you raise the strong club of justice
You will see that a son of yours does not flee from the fight
Nor does he fear, who adores you, death itself
Adored land
Among a thousand others
It is you, Brazil
Beloved homeland!
Of the sons of this land you are a gentle mother
Beloved homeland
Brazil!
