Hino Nacional Brasileiro

Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plácidas
De um povo heroico o brado retumbante,
E o sol da liberdade, em raios fúlgidos,
Brilhou no céu da Pátria nesse instante.

Se o penhor dessa igualdade
Conseguimos conquistar com braço forte,
Em teu seio, ó liberdade,
Desafia o nosso peito a própria morte!

Ó Pátria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve!

Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vívido
De amor e de esperança à terra desce,
Se em teu formoso céu, risonho e límpido,
A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece.

Gigante pela própria natureza,
És belo, és forte, impávido colosso,
E o teu futuro espelha essa grandeza.

Terra adorada,
Entre outras mil,
És tu, Brasil,
Ó Pátria amada!

Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil,
Pátria amada,
Brasil!

English translation

The calm shores of the Ipiranga
Heard the resounding cry of a heroic people,
And the sun of freedom, in brilliant rays,
Shone in the sky of the Fatherland at that moment.

If the pledge of this equality
We managed to conquer with strong arms,
In your bosom, O freedom,
Our hearts defy death itself!

O beloved Fatherland,
Idolised,
Hail! Hail!

Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray
Of love and hope descends upon the land,
If in your beautiful, smiling, clear sky
The image of the Southern Cross shines.

Giant by your own nature,
You are beautiful, you are strong, a fearless colossus,
And your future mirrors this greatness.

Beloved land,
Among a thousand others,
You are, Brazil,
O beloved Fatherland!

Of the sons of this soil you are a gentle mother,
Beloved Fatherland,
Brazil!
