Ludmilla began her interpretation correctly and sang: “They heard the quiet shores of Ipiranga.” In the 2nd verse, the singer forgets the lyrics of the hymn.

Here is the full national anthem:
“They heard about Ipiranga, the quiet shores
A loud cry from a heroic people
And the sun of freedom, in shining rays
It shone in the country’s sky at that moment
“If the promise of that equality
We managed to win with a strong arm
In your bosom, oh freedom
Death itself challenges our breasts
“O beloved country
Adored
Save! Save!
“Brazil, an intense dream, a living ray
Of love and hope, descends to earth
When in your beautiful sky, smiling and clear
Cruzeiro’s image shines
“Huge by nature
You are beautiful, you are a strong, fearless colossus
And your future reflects this greatness
“Honored country
Among thousands of others
It’s you, Brazil
O beloved homeland!
You are a gentle mother to the children of this soil
Beloved homeland, Brazil!
“Lies forever in a beautiful cradle
To the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky
Fulguras, oh Brazil, flower of America
Illuminated by the sun of the New World!
“As the brightest country
Your smiling, beautiful fields have more flowers
Our forests have more life
Our life, in your chest, more love
“O beloved country
Adored
Save! Save!
“Brazil, of eternal love, is a symbol
The labarum you wear with stars
And say the laurel green of this pennant
Peace in the future and glory in the past
“But when you take away the strong association of justice
You will see that a son of yours will not run away from battle
Do not even be afraid of death itself, whoever worships you
“Honored country
Among thousands of others
It’s you, Brazil
O beloved homeland!
You are a gentle mother to the children of this soil
Beloved homeland, Brazil!”
