Joaquim Osório Duque Estrada

“ And the sun of freedom, in gleaming rays
Lit up the skies of our Motherland, at that moment
If the pledge of such equality
We ́ve conquered with strong arms
In your bosom, oh, Freedom
Death itself dares our hearts. ”

“ Brazil, you gleam, fleuron of the Americas,
Illuminated by the sun of the New World.
Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers
Than the most attractive land elsewhere,
Our forests have more life,
Our life in your bosom more love. ”
