Brazilian national anthem

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 IndependÃÂÃÂªncia composed by the first emperor, Pedro I. With the establishment of a republic in 1889, lyrics were written by Joaquim OsÃÂÃÂ³rio Duque Estrada to go with Francisco Manoel da Silva's song. However, the original music has been modified slightly.

Portuguese lyrics English translation

I
Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plÃÂÃÂ¡cidas
De um povo herÃÂÃÂ³ico o brado retumbante,
E o sol da Liberdade em raios fÃÂÃÂºlgidos,
Brilhou no cÃÂÃÂ©u da PÃÂÃÂ¡tria nesse instante. Ipiranga's placid banks heard
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 braÃÂÃÂ§o forte,
Em teu seio, ÃÂÃÂ³ Liberdade,
Desafia o nosso peito a prÃÂÃÂ³pria morte! As the promise of this equality
Was secured by our strong arms,
In your bosom, O Freedom,
Our heart defies even death.
ÃÂÃÂ PÃÂÃÂ¡tria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve! O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vÃÂÃÂvido
De amor e de esperanÃÂÃÂ§a ÃÂÃÂ terra desce,
Se em teu formoso cÃÂÃÂ©u, risonho e lÃÂÃÂmpido,
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 prÃÂÃÂ³pria natureza,
ÃÂÃÂs belo, ÃÂÃÂ©s forte, impÃÂÃÂ¡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,
ÃÂÃÂs tu, Brasil,
ÃÂÃÂ PÃÂÃÂ¡tria amada! O land we adore,
among a thousand others
You are, Brazil, the beloved one!
Dos fihos deste solo ÃÂÃÂ©s mÃÂÃÂ£e gentil,
PÃÂÃÂ¡tria amada,
Brasil! You are the gentle mother of the sons of this land,
Beloved homeland,
Brazil!
II
Deitado eternamente em berÃÂÃÂ§o esplÃÂÃÂªndido,
ao som do mar e ÃÂÃÂ luz do cÃÂÃÂ©u profundo,
Fulguras, ÃÂÃÂ³ Brasil, florÃÂÃÂ£o da AmÃÂÃÂ©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 tÃÂÃÂªm mais flores,
"Nossos bosques tÃÂÃÂªm 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.
ÃÂÃÂ PÃÂÃÂ¡tria amada,
Idolatrada,
Salve! Salve! O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
Brasil, de amor eterno seja sÃÂÃÂmbolo
O lÃÂÃÂ¡baro que ostentas estrelado,
E diga o verde-louro dessa flÃÂÃÂ¢mula
- Paz no futuro e glÃÂÃÂ³ria 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 justiÃÂÃÂ§a a clava forte,
VerÃÂÃÂ¡s que um filho teu nÃÂÃÂ£o foge ÃÂÃÂ luta,
Nem teme, quem te adora, a prÃÂÃÂ³pria 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.
