Hino da Independência

The Hino da Independência (Anthem of Independence) was the first anthem of Brazil, composed by the first emperor, Dom Pedro I, with lyrics by Evaristo da Veiga . It was replaced later by the Hino Nacional Brasileiro as the national anthem for the republic of Brazil.

Portuguese Lyrics

Já podeis, da Pátria filhos,
Ver contente a mãe gentil;
Já raiou a liberdade
No horizonte do Brasil.

Brava gente brasileira!
Longe vá... temor servil:
Ou ficar a pátria livre
Ou morrer pelo Brasil.

Os grilhões que nos forjava
Da perfídia astuto ardil...
Houve mão mais poderosa:
Zombou deles o Brasil.

Brava gente brasileira!
Longe vá... temor servil:
Ou ficar a pátria livre
Ou morrer pelo Brasil.

Não temais ímpias falanges,
Que apresentam face hostil;
Vossos peitos, vossos braços
São muralhas do Brasil.

Brava gente brasileira!
Longe vá... temor servil:
Ou ficar a pátria livre
Ou morrer pelo Brasil.

Parabéns, ó brasileiro,
Já, com garbo varonil,
Do universo entre as nações
Resplandece a do Brasil.

Brava gente brasileira!
Longe vá... temor servil:
Ou ficar a pátria livre
Ou morrer pelo Brasil.


English Lyrics

Already you can, Motherland's sons,
see happy your gentle mother;
Liberty's already risen
at Brasil's horizon.

Brave Brazilian people!
far off go... servile fear:
Or is set Motherland free
Or we die for Brasil.

The chains that made for us
perfidy's astute slyness...
There was a most powerful hand:
sneered on them Brasil.

Brave Brazilian people!
far off go... servile fear:
Or is set Motherland free
Or we die for Brasil.

Don't fear impious phalanxes,
Who show their hostile face;
Your breasts, your arms
are battlements of Brasil.

Brave Brazilian people!
far off go... servile fear:
Or is set Motherland free
Or we die for Brasil.

Congratulations, O Brazilian,
Already, with viril garb,
in the Universe between nations
sparkles that of Brasil.

Brave Brazilian people!
far off go... servile fear:
Or is set Motherland free
Or we die for Brasil.
