Hino da Aviação Embarcada
Hinos e Marchas Militares
A Tribute to the Guardians of the Skies and Seas
The song "Hino da Aviação Embarcada" is a military march that serves as a tribute to the naval aviation patrol, often referred to as 'Patrulha' in Portuguese. The lyrics celebrate the history, valor, and significant achievements of this military branch, which plays a crucial role in the defense of a nation's naval forces and coastlines. The repeated phrase 'Salve a Patrulha' translates to 'Hail the Patrol,' underscoring the respect and admiration for these service members.
The song's verses describe the relentless and brave nature of the naval aviation patrol, highlighting their readiness to face any conditions, whether in peace or war. The mention of 'Empunhando o tridente mortal' (wielding the deadly trident) symbolizes their power and readiness to defend, while 'protege o mercante e nosso litoral' (protects the merchant and our coastline) emphasizes their protective role. The lyrics also convey a sense of duty and honor, as the patrol is depicted as vigilant guardians who tirelessly work for peace among nations.
The historical aspect is also touched upon, with references to the traditions and heart of the 'anujás,' a term that could be related to older generations of sailors or aviators. The song portrays the naval aviation patrol as a force that demonstrates its worth both in the air and at sea, always ready to track down threats like submarines. The march is not only a celebration of past glories but also a reminder of the ongoing commitment and courage required to maintain security and peace in maritime domains.
