Glory
to
the
race,
glory
to
the
color,
glory
to
the
beauty
of
the
form.
Glory,
glory,
that
the
negro
earned,
glory,
glory,
that
the
negro
deserves,
soul
and
life
of
our
Brazil!
Three
hundred
years
since
the
valiant
Zumbi,
three
centuries
past
brave
warrior,
three
centuries
of
the
growing
negro
nation,
in
the
drudgery
of
slavery,
in
the
fight
for
space
in
our
greater
culture:
the
dance,
the
food,
the
music,
the
cheerful
irreverence
active
intelligence
and
freedom,
the
natural
joy
of
an
innocent
act
of
being
that
represents
Brazil.
Glory
to
the
arts
of
Aleijadinho,
glory
to
the
poetry
of
Gonçalves
Dias,
glory
to
the
romance
of
Machado
de
Assis,
glory
to
the
voice
of
Milton
Nascimento,
glory
to
the
feet
of
Pelé.
Glory
to
the
samba
of
our
Carnival.
Together,
linked,
in
history,
all
they,
and
much
more
form
the
real
Brazil,
with
life
and
citizenship.
Bless
the
race
that
gives
color
and
life
to
our
great
Brazil!
