Rataplan do Mar
Canções Escoteiras
Sea Rataplan
From the infinite sea, in vast immensity,
And under the infinity of the splendid blue
We want to educate our youth
Escaping from the inert, insipid and atrocious life!
And when we see far away the human whirlpool,
The next danger awakens our souls,
And to our cry: Alert! Alert, Always Alert!
The voices of the Ocean respond to us; Alert!
(Chorus - 2x)
In a firm and healthy cadence
Our chests vibrate
The Rataplan, Rataplan, Rataplan,
Of the Sea Scouts!
In progressive peace, in days of danger,
In moments of joy, or when pain reigns,
It's always the same sea, our great friend,
It's always the same Homeland, our immense love!
If one day the insane whirlwind boils,
Of the greedy passions of some uncertain hour,
To our cry: Alert! Alert, Always Alert!
The voices of the ocean respond to us; Alert!
(Chorus - 2x)
For the Homeland, all love, constant pioneers,
Above sea or land, or under the azure sky,
Ardent, youthful, the Sea Scouts,
Only have a bold motto: Everything for Brazil!
And thus, always avoiding the deception of lukewarmness,
From love for the Homeland and honor, from faith under the cover
To our cry; Alert! Alert, Always Alert!
The voices of the ocean respond to us; Alert!
(Chorus - 2x)
