The Brazil National Anthem words were written by Joaquim Osório Duque Estrada in 1909, and the musical setting was composed by Francisco Manoel da Silva in 1822.
The song consists of two consecutive choruses. Brazilian law stipulates that only one chorus must be played in instrumental renditions of the anthem, but both must be sung in vocal performances.
The second chorus is thus often dropped when played at sporting events, as the players are not facing a mic when singing.
First stanza
The placid banks of the Ipiranga heard
the resounding cry of a heroic people,
and the sun of liberty, in brilliant rays,
shone in the skies of the homeland at that moment.
If we have succeeded in winning the promise
of this equality by our mighty arms,
in thy bosom, O freedom,
our courageous breasts shall defy death itself!
O homeland beloved,
idolized,
hail, hail!
Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray
of love and hope descends to earth
if in thy lovely skies, smiling and limpid,
the image of the (Southern) Cross shines resplendent.
A giant by thine own nature,
thou art beautiful, art strong, an intrepid colossus,
and thy future mirrors this greatness.
Land adored
among a thousand others
art thou, Brazil,
O beloved homeland!
To the sons of this one land
thou art a gentle mother,
beloved homeland,
Brazil!
Second stanza
Eternally reclining in a splendid cradle,
by the sound of the sea and the light of the deep skies,
thou shinest, O Brazil, great flower of America,
illuminated by the sun of the New World!
The most attractive land therein,
thy smiling, lovely fields have more flowers,
'Our forests have more life',
'our life' in thy bosom 'more loves.'
O homeland beloved,
idolized,
hail, hail!
Brazil, let the star-spangled banner thou showest forth
be the symbol of eternal love,
and let the green and gold of this pennant proclaim
'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 the battle,
nor does he who loves thee fear death itself.
Land adored
among a thousand others
art thou, Brazil,
O beloved homeland!
To the sons of this one land
thou art a gentle mother,
beloved homeland,
Brazil!
