Hymn "Jahú’s Wings"
Lyrics by Octacílio Gomes and music by Marcelo Tupinambá (+/- 1927)
Daring space pioneers!
In a splendid chant of triumph,
Guiding your steel bird,
Over the waves of the Atlantic you rose.
In an audacious and valiant outleap,
You engraved your names in History,
In which shines, light-haloed,
The high glory of Dumont and Gusmão.
The "Jahú", in a leap,
Crossing the Ocean, the Ocean,
Rose to heights the name
Of a proud Brazil,
Thirty million souls
Swelling their chests, their chests
With vibrant applause,
Honour the deed.
Negrão, Braga, Cinquini and Ribeiro
You give the World a superb spectacle,
Testing the Brazilian courage
Fighting so many obstacles.
Brazil rewards your victory,
Fearless Condors,
And among applause and flowers,
It shall keep you in the heart of History.
The "Jahú", in a leap , etc., etc.
