Hino da Bandeira |
Hymn to the Flag |
| Salve, lindo pendão da esperança Salve, símbolo augusto da paz! Tua nobre presença à lembrança A grandeza da Patría nos traz. |
Hail, beautiful banner of hope, Hail, august symbol of peace! Thy noble presence reminds us of The greatness of the fatherland. |
(Estribilho)Recebe o afeto que se encerra |
(Refrain)Receive the affection that is locked |
| Em teu seio formoso retratas Este céu de puríssimo azul, A verdura sem par destas matas, E o esplendor do Cruzeiro do Sul. |
On thy bosom lovely pictures This heaven of purest blue, The matchless verdure of those forests, And splendor of the Southern Cross. |
| (Estribilho) | (Refrain) |
| Contemplando o teu vulto sagrado, Compreendemos o nosso dever; E o Brasil por seus filhos amado; Poderoso e feliz há de ser. |
Contemplating thy sacred will, We learn to know our duty; And Brazil, beloved by its children, Powerful and happy will be. |
| (Estribilho) | (Refrain) |
| Sobre a imensa nação brasileira, Nos momentos de festa ou de dor, Paira sempre, sagrada bandeira, Pavilhão da justiça e do amor! |
Above the immense Brazilian nation, In moments of joy or sorrow, Float forever, sacred banner, Ensign of justice and of love. |
| (Estribilho) | (Refrain) |

In addition to the "Hymn to the Flag," the Brazilian national anthem (Hino Nacional) also mentions the flag in the second stanza. The following lyrics and translation are from www.copcity.com:
| 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 - |
May the star-scattered banner flown by thee, Brazil, become the symbol of eternal love, And may the green-gold flag proclaim always - Peace in the future and glory in the past - |

This is a good example of a song in which a particular flag is
explicitly described or at least referred to. Even if the song is not
fully dedicated to the flag, it might be considered of high
vexillological value.
