Hino Nacional Brasileiro – Francisco Manuel da Silva (1795-1865)

Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plácidas
de um povo heróico 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!

Deitado eternamente em berço esplêndido
Ao som do mar e à luz do céu profundo
Fulguras, ó Brasil, florão da América
Iluminado ao sol do Novo Mundo!

Do que a terra, mais garrida
Teus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais flores
Nossos bosques têm mais vida
Nossa vida no teu seio mais amores

Ó Pátria amada
Idolatrada
Salve! Salve!

Brasil, de amor eterno seja símbolo
O lábaro que ostentas estrelado
E diga o verde-louro dessa flâmula
Paz no futuro e glória no passado

Mas, se ergues da justiça a clava forte
Verás que um filho teu não foge à luta
Nem teme, quem te adora, a própria morte

Terra adorada
Entre outras mil
És tu, Brasil
Ó Pátria amada!
Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil
Pátria amada
Brasil!

The Brazilian National Anthem was composed by Francisco Manuel da Silva in 1831 and had been given at least two sets of unofficial lyrics before a 1922 decree by President Epitácio Pessôa gave the anthem its definitive, official lyrics, by Joaquim Osório Duque-Estrada, after several changes were made to his proposal, written in 1909. The anthem's lyrics have been described as Parnassian in style and Romantic in content.

The melody of the Brazilian national anthem was composed by Francisco Manuel da Silva, and was presented to the public for the first time in April 1831. On 7 April 1831, the first Brazilian Emperor, Pedro I, abdicated the Crown and days later left for Europe, leaving behind the then-five-year-old Emperor Pedro II.

From the proclamation of the independence of Brazil in 1822 until the 1831 abdication, an anthem that had been composed by Pedro I himself, celebrating the country's independence (and that now continues to be an official patriotic song, the Independence Anthem), was used as the national anthem. In the immediate aftermath of the abdication of Pedro I, the anthem composed by him fell in popularity.

Francisco Manuel da Silva then seized this opportunity to present his composition, and the anthem written by him was played in public for the first time on April 13, 1831. On that same day, the ship carrying the former Emperor left the port of Rio de Janeiro. The date of April 13 now appears in official calendars as the Day of the Brazilian National Anthem.
