Descobrimento do Brasil

It's beautiful to remember
Our history with its important passages
Just like the discovery
Of our giant land
On the ninth day of March in the year 1500
They left the docks of Tejo in Portugal
Thirteen caravels

Commanded by Pedro Álvares Cabral
After sailing for several days
Moving away from the coast
Avoiding the doldrums
Finally, on the 22nd of April
Pedro Álvares Cabral discovered
Our Beloved Homeland
Naming it Island of the True Cross
Later Land of the Holy Cross

Cabral brought in his fleet
Men of knowledge
Among them, we highlight Pero Vaz de Caminha
Who was a great talent
And the travel diary, he wrote himself
The author of the historic letter
Known to the whole world
How much beauty is enclosed
In this beautiful land of a thousand charms
We remember another glorious passage
From the History of Brazil
