Brazil's National Anthem
These are the words that Brendon included in his letter on 10-6-2009.
---------
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 they bosom, O Liberty,
Our hearts will defy death itself!
O adored Motherland,
Cherished and revered,
All Hail! All Hail!
Brazil, a dream, sublime, a 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, a brave colossus,
Thy future mirrors this thy greatness.
O land adored
Above all others,
'Tis thee Brazil,
Beloved motherland, Brazil!
Thou art the gentle mother
of the children of this soil,
Beloved land,
Brazil!
I I
Laid out eternally in the splendour 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 in the most gorgeously reputed lands;
"More life is to be found in our groves,
More love in our lives" in thy embrace.
O adored Motherland,
Cherished and revered,
All Hail! All Hail!
May the star-scattered banner flown by thee,
Brazil, become a symbol of eternal love,
And may the green-gold flag proclaim always
- Peace in the future and glory in the past -
But if the mighty sword of justice is drawn forth,
You will perceive your children, who adore you,
Neither fear to fight, nor flee from death itself.
O land adored
Above all others,
'Tis thee Brazil,
Beloved motherland!
Thou art the gentle mother
of the children of this soil
Beloved land,
Brazil!
