Brazil National Anthem

The placid banks of the Ipiranga heard The resounding cry of a heroic people, And the sun of liberty, in shining beams, Shone in the homeland's sky at that instant. If the pledge of this equality We succeeded in conquering with strong arm, In your bosom, O Liberty, Our breast defies death itself! O beloved, Idolized homeland, Hail! Hail! Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray Of love and hope descends to earth, If in your beautiful sky, smiling and limpid, The image of the Southern Cross blazes. Giant by your own nature, You are beautiful, strong, a fearless colossus, And your future mirrors this greatness. Adored land, Among a thousand others, You are the one, Brazil, O beloved homeland! Of the children of this soil you are gentle mother, Beloved homeland, Brazil! Lying eternally in a splendid cradle, To the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky, You shine, O Brazil, flower of the Americas, Illuminated by the sun of the New World! More beautiful than the most graceful land, Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers; "Our forests have more life," "Our life" in your bosom "more loves." O beloved, Idolized homeland, Hail! Hail! Brazil, may the symbol of eternal love be The starry banner that you display, And let the green and gold of this pennant say: "Peace in the future and glory in the past." But if you raise the strong club of justice, You will see that a son of yours does not flee the fight, Nor does one who adores you fear death itself. Adored land, Among a thousand others, You are the one, Brazil, O beloved homeland! Of the children of this soil you are gentle mother, Beloved homeland, Brazil!
