Lyrics
Tu és meu Brasil em toda parte
Quer na ciência ou na arte
Portentoso e altaneiro
Os homens que escreveram tua história
Conquistaram tuas glórias
Epopéias triunfais
Quero neste pobre enredo
Reviver glorificando os homens teus
Levá-los ao panteon dos grandes imortais
Pois merecem muito mais
Não querendo levá-los ao cume da altura
Cientistas tu tens e tens cultura
E neste rude poema destes pobres vates
Há sábios como Pedro Américo e César Lattes
Lyrics translation
You Are My Brazil everywhere
Whether in science or art
Mighty and lofty
The men who wrote Your Story
They won your glory
Triumphal epics
I want in this poor plot
Revive glorifying your men
Take them to the pantheon of the great Immortals
For they deserve much more
Not wanting to take them to the summit of height
Scientists you have and you have culture
And in this rude poem of these poor vates
There are wise men like Pedro Américo and Cesar Lattes
