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

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 - 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
