First chorus
Como a aurora precursora
Do farol da divindade
Foi o vinte de setembro
O precursor da liberdade
Mostremos valor, constância
Nesta ímpia e injusta guerra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
De modelo a toda terra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
Like the precursory dawn
At the lighthouse of divinity
It was the twentieth of September
The precursor of liberty
Let us show value, constancy
In this impious, unfair war
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
As a model to every land
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
Like the shining pioneer dawn
From the beacon of divinity
Was September the twentieth
The herald of our Liberty
Let us show then valor, constancy
In this impious, injust war
May our prowess serve us
As a model for the world (for the world)
For the whole world may our prowess be a model
Be a model for the whole world
Second chorus (excluded since 1966)
Entre nós revive Atenas
Para assombro dos tiranoso
Sejamos gregos na gloria
E na virtude, romanos
Mostremos valor, constância
Nesta ímpia e injusta guerra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
De modelo a toda terra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
Between us Athenas revives
For the tirants haunt
Let us be greeks in glory
And in virtue, romans
Let us show value, constancy
In this impious, unfair war
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
As a model to every land
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
Between us Athenas revives
For the tirants haunt
Let us be greeks in glory
And in virtue, romans
Let us show then valor, constancy
In this impious, injust war
May our prowess serve
As a model for the world (for the world)
For the whole world may our prowess be a model
Be a model for the whole world
Third chorus
Mas não basta pra ser livre
Ser forte, aguerrido e bravo
Povo que não tem virtude
Acaba por ser escravo
Mostremos valor, constância
Nesta ímpia e injusta guerra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
De modelo a toda terra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda terra
But, to be free, it is not enough
To be strong, fearless and brave
(For) People without virtue
Ends up being enslaved
Let us show value, constancy
In this impious, unfair war
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
As a model to every land
Let our prowess serve
As a model to every land
But it won't suffice to be free
Being strong, bold and brave
People lacking virtue
Is fated to be enslaved
