Brazilian national anthem

For thoughtful child sponsors

The Brazilian National Anthem (Hino Nacional Brasileiro in Portuguese) was first composed by Francisco Manoel da Silva upon independence from Portugal in 1822, but was not used until 1890. Instead, the first anthem was the Hino da IndependÃÂªncia composed by the first emperor, Pedro I. With the establishment of a republic in 1889, lyrics were written by Joaquim OsÃÂ³rio Duque Estrada to go with Francisco Manoel da Silva's song. However, the original music has been modified slightly.

I
Ouviram do Ipiranga ÃÂ s margens plÃÂ¡cidas
De um povo herÃÂ³ico o brado retumbante.
E o sol da Liberdade em raios fÃÂºlgidos,
Brilhou no cÃÂ©u da PÃÂ¡tria nesse instante. It was heard, at the Ipiranga's placid banks,
The resounding cry of a heroic people.
And the sun of freedom, in bright rays,
Shone at this moment in the homeland's skies.
Se o penhor dessa igualdade
Conseguimos conquistar com braÃÂ§o forte,
Em teu seio, ÃÂ³ Liberdade,
Desafia o nosso peito a prÃÂ³pria morte! As the promise of this equality
Was secured by our strong arms,
In your bosom, O Freedom,
Our heart defies even death.
ÃÂ PÃÂ¡tria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve! O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vÃÂvido
De amor e de esperanÃÂ§a ÃÂ terra desce,
Se em teu formoso cÃÂ©u, risonho e lÃÂmpido,
A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece. Brazil, a vivid dream, a lively ray
Of love and hope settles on the earth,
As in your beautiful sky, smiling and limpid,
The image of the Southern Cross shines resplendent.
Gigante pela prÃÂ³pria natureza,
ÃÂs belo, ÃÂ©s forte, impÃÂ¡vido colosso,
E o teu futuro espelha essa grandeza, A giant by nature, you are beautiful,
Strong, an intrepid colossus,
And your future mirrors this grandeur.
Chorus: Chorus:
Terra adorada,
Entre outras mil,
ÃÂs tu, Brasil,
ÃÂ PÃÂ¡tria amada! O land we adore,
among a thousand others
You are, Brazil, the beloved one!
Dos filhos deste solo ÃÂ©s mÃÂ£e gentil,
PÃÂ¡tria amada,
Brasil! You are the gentle mother of the sons of this land,
Beloved homeland,
Brazil!
II
Deitado eternamente em berÃÂ§o esplÃÂªndido,
ao som do mar e ÃÂ luz do cÃÂ©u profundo,
Fulguras, ÃÂ³ Brasil, florÃÂ£o da AmÃÂ©rica,
Iluminado ao sol do Novo Mundo! Eternally laid in a splendid cradle,
To the sound of the sea and the light from the depths of the sky,
Brazil, you gleam, fleuron of the Americas,
Illuminated by the sun of the New World.
Do que a terra mais garrida
Teus risonhos, lindos campos tÃÂªm mais flores,
"Nossos bosques tÃÂªm mais vida"
"Nossa vida" no teu seio "mais amores". Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers
Than the most attractive land elsewhere,
Our forests have more life,
Our life in your bosom more love.
ÃÂ PÃÂ¡tria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve! O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
Brasil, de amor eterno seja sÃÂmbolo
O lÃÂ¡baro que ostentas estrelado,
E diga o verde-louro dessa flÃÂ¢mula
- Paz no futuro e glÃÂ³ria no passado. Brazil, may the starry banner you display
Be a symbol of eternal love,
And may the green laurel of this pennant speak
Of peace in the future and glory in the past.
Mas, se ergues da justiÃÂ§a a clava forte,
VerÃÂ¡s que um filho teu nÃÂ£o foge ÃÂ luta,
Nem teme, quem te adora, a prÃÂ³pria morte, But if you raise a strong cudgel in the name of justice,
You will see that a son of yours does not run from a fight,
Nor does one who adores you fear death.
