Hino do Rio Grande do Sul

Like the precursor dawn
Of the divine lighthouse,
The Twenty of September was
The precursor of freedom.

Let's show valor, constancy,
In this impious and unjust war;
May our feats serve
As a model to all the earth.

Among us, Athens revives
To the astonishment of tyrants;
Let us be Greeks in glory
And in virtue, Romans.

Let's show valor, constancy,
In this impious and unjust war;
May our feats serve
As a model to all the earth.

But it is not enough, to be free,
To be strong, warlike and brave;
A people without virtue
Ends up being a slave.

Let's show valor, constancy,
In this impious and unjust war;
May our feats serve
As a model to all the earth.
