The Hino da Infantaria is a virile hymn of the Brazilian Infantry, with lyrics written by Hildo Rangel and
the music by Thiers Cardoso.
The song speaks of the ardor felt for one’s homeland, the intensity of the fight, and the promise to never fear entering into battle. Rather than run or cower before the enemy, glory is found by confronting the
adversary in combat, amidst the shrapnel fire.
Hino da Infantaria is here interpreted by an unknown choir.

Portuguese Lyrics:
1. Nós somos estes infantes
Cujos peitos amantes
Nunca temem lutar;
Vivemos, morremos,
Para o Brasil nos consagrar!
Nós, peitos nunca vencidos,
De valor, desmedidos,
No fragor da disputa,
Mostremos que em nossa Pátria temos,
Valor imenso, no intenso da luta.
Refrain
És a nobre Infantaria, das armas a rainha,
Por ti daria a vida minha,
E a glória prometida nos campos de batalha
Está contigo, ante o inimigo,
Pelo fogo da metralha!
És a eterna majestade, nas linhas combatentes,
És a entidade dos mais valentes.
Quando o toque da vitória marcar nossa alegria,
Eu cantarei! Eu gritarei:
És a nobre Infantaria!
2. Brasil, te darei com amor,
Toda a seiva e vigor,
Que em meu peito se encerra.
Fuzil! Servil!
Meu nobre amigo para guerra!
Ó! meu amado pendão, sagrado pavilhão,
Que a glória conduz,
Com luz, sublime amor se exprime,
Se do alto me falas,
Todo roto por balas!
Refrain
És a nobre Infantaria, das armas a rainha,
Por ti daria a vida minha,
E a glória prometida nos campos de batalha,
Está contigo, ante o inimigo,
Pelo fogo da metralha!
És a eterna majestade, nas linhas combatentes,
És a entidade dos mais valentes.
Quando o toque da vitória marcar nossa alegria,
Eu cantarei, eu gritarei:
És a nobre Infantaria!

Whose loving hearts
Never fear to fight;

To consecrate ourselves to Brazil!
Our hearts never vanquished, With a valor value beyond measure,
In the heat of contention,

Immense valor, in the intensity of the fight.

For you I would give my life,
And the glory promised on the battlefields
Is with you, facing the enemy,
Amid the shrapnel fire!

You are the most valiant entity.
When the call of victory marks our joy,
I will sing! I will shout:

All the life blood and vigor

With light, sublime love you express,
If you speak to me from on high,
All shattered by bullets!
