Canção da engenharia

“Canção da Engenharia” by Exército Brasileiro is a tribute to the Brazilian Army's Engineering Corps, celebrating their crucial role in both peace and war. The song highlights the enduring presence and significant contributions of military engineers throughout Brazil's history. The lyrics emphasize the dual nature of their work: supporting and guiding other military branches to victory in times of conflict, and tirelessly working to build a stronger nation during peacetime.

The song paints a vivid picture of the engineers' bravery and resilience. Described as noble, indomitable, and heroic, these engineers face death with audacity during war and work ceaselessly in peace. The reference to the “castelo lendário” (legendary castle) and the turquoise-blue insignia symbolizes the strength and grandeur of the Engineering Corps. This imagery serves as a metaphor for their role as a protective shield and a pillar of Brazil's defense and development.

The lyrics also pay homage to the engineers' technical prowess and their ability to overcome obstacles. Whether facing rivers or mines under enemy fire, engineers are depicted as the first to advance, paving the way for attacks and ensuring the success of military operations. The song honors their legacy by mentioning Villagran Cabrita, a historical figure known for his engineering feats. Through these vivid descriptions, the song encapsulates the spirit of dedication, innovation, and courage that defines the Brazilian Army's Engineering Corps.
