The resounding cry of a heroic folk

And the sun of Liberty in shining beams

Shone in the homeland's sky at that instant.

If the pledge of this equality

We managed to conquer with strong arm,

In thy bosom, O Freedom,

Our chest defies death itself!

O beloved,

Idolized homeland,

Hail, hail!

-censored-, an intense dream, a vivid ray

Of love and hope descends to earth

If in thy comely, smiling and limpid sky

The image of the (Southern) Cross blazes.

Giant by thine own nature,

Thou art beautiful, thou art strong, a fearless colossus,

And thy future mirrors that greatness.

Adored Land

Amongst a thousand others

Art thou, -censored-,

O beloved homeland!

Of the sons of this ground

Thou art kind mother,

Beloved homeland,

-censored-!

Second stanza

Eternally lying on a splendid cradle,

To the sound of the sea and under deep sky light

Thou flarest, O -censored-, crocket of America,

Illuminated by the sun of New World!

Than the showiest land,

Thy smiling, pretty prairies have more flowers

"Our groves have more life",

"Our life" in thy bosom "more loves".

O beloved,

Idolized homeland,

Hail, hail!

-censored-, of eternal love be a symbol

The starred labarum which thou displayst

And say the laurel-green of thy pennant

'Peace in the future and glory in the past.'

But if thou raisest the strong cudgel of justice,

Thou wilt see that a son of thine flees not from battle,

Nor do those who love thee fear their own death.

Beloved Land,

Amongst a thousand others

Art thou, -censored-,

O beloved homeland!

Of the sons of this ground

Thou art kind mother,

Beloved homeland,

-censored-!

BRAZIL!
