Brazil National Anthem
The placid banks of the Ipiranga river heard Thou shinest, O Brazil, garland of America,
The resounding cry of a heroic people Illuminated by the sun of the New World!
And brilliant beams from the sun of liberty
Shone in our homeland's skies at that very moment. Thy smiling, lovely fields have more flowers
Than the most elegant land abroad,
If we have fulfilled the promise Our woods have more life,
Of equality by our mighty arms, Our life in thy bosom more love.
In thy bosom, O freedom,
Our brave breast shall defy death itself! O beloved,
Idolized homeland,
O beloved, Hail, hail!
Idolized homeland,
Hail, hail! Brazil, let the star-spangled banner thou showest forth
Be the symbol of eternal love,
Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray And let the laurel-green of thy pennant proclaim:
Of love and hope descends to earth Peace in the future and glory in the past.
If in thy lovely, smiling and clear skies
The image of the Southern Cross shines resplendently. But if thou raisest the strong gavel of Justice,
Thou wilt see that a son of thine flees not from battle,
A giant by thine own nature, Nor does he who loves thee fear death itself.
Thou art a beautiful, strong and intrepid colossus,
And thy future mirrors thy greatness. Beloved Land,
Amongst a thousand others
Beloved Land Art thou, Brazil,
Amongst a thousand others O beloved homeland!
Art thou, Brazil,
O beloved homeland! To the sons of this land
Thou art a gentle mother,
To the sons of this land Beloved homeland,
Thou art a gentle mother, Brazil!
Beloved homeland,
Brazil!
Eternally lying in a splendid cradle,
By the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky,
