I

The peaceful banks of the Ipiranga

Heard the resounding cry of an heroic people,

And the dazzling rays of the sun of Liberty

Bathed our country in their brilliant light.

If with strong arm we have succeeded

In winning a pledge of equality,

In thy bosom, O Liberty,

Our hearts will defy death itself!

O adored Fatherland,

Cherished and revered,

All hail! All Hail!

Brazil, a dream sublime, vivid ray of love and hope to earth descends,

Where in your clear, pure, beauteous skies

The image of the Southern Cross shines forth.

O country vast by nature,

Fair and strong, brave and colossus,

Thy future mirrors this thy greatness.

O land adored

Above all others,

'Tis thee Brazil,

Beloved Fatherland!

Thou art the gentle mother of the children of this soil,

Beloved land,

Brazil!

II

Laid out eternally in the splendor of nature,

In the sound of the sea and the light of heaven,

may thou shine, O Brazil, flower of America,

Illumined by the sun of the New World!

More flowers put forth in thy fair, smiling fields

Than the in the most gorgeously reputed lands;
