Brazilian
National Anthem
The placid banks of Ipiranga
heard
the resounding cry of a heroic
people
and in shining rays, the sun
of liberty
shone in our homeland's skies
at this very moment.
If the assurance of this equality
we achieved by our mighty
arms,
in thy bosom, O freedom,
our chest shall defy death
itself!
O beloved,
idolized homeland,
Hail, hail!
Brazil, an intense dream,
a vivid ray
of love and hope descends
to earth
if in thy lovely, smiling
and clear skies
the image of the (Southern)
Cross shines resplendently.
Giant by thine own nature,
thou art beautiful, thou art
strong, an intrepid colossus,
and thy future mirrors thy
greatness.
Beloved Land
amongst a thousand others
art thou, Brazil,
O beloved homeland!
To the sons of this land
thou art a gentle mother,
beloved homeland,
Brazil!
Eternally laid on a splendid
cradle,
by the sound of the sea and
the light of the deep sky,
thou shinest, O Brazil, finial
of America,
illuminated by the sun of
the New World!
Than the most elegant land
abroad,
thy smiling, pretty prairies
have more flowers
"Our meadows have more
life",
"our life" in thy
bosom "more love".
(*)
O beloved,
idolized homeland,
Hail, hail!
Brazil, of eternal love be
the symbol
the starred banner thou showest
forth
and proclaim the laurel-green
of thy pennant
'Peace in the future and glory
in the past.'
But if thou raisest the strong
gavel of Justice,
thou wilt see that a son of
thine flees not from battle,
nor does he who loves thee
fear his very own death.
Beloved Land,
amongst a thousand others
art thou, Brazil,
O beloved homeland!
To the sons of this land
thou art a gentle mother,
beloved homeland,
Brazil!
