Historic fact:
Most of us have heard the expression “when pigs fly”, but in a different part of the world, another popular saying was: “It’s more likely for a snake to smoke a pipe than for the Brazilian expeditionary force to go to the front and fight” in the same context. However, one day in 1944...
[Intro]
We remember, no surrender
Heroes of our century
[Verse 1]
Three men stood strong, and they held out for long
Going into the fight, to their death that awaits
Crazy or brave, will it end in the grave?
As they’re giving their lives as their honor dictates
[Pre-Chorus]
Far, far from home, to a war
Fought on foreign soil and
Far, far from known, tell their tale
Their forgotten story
Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória
[Chorus]
Rise from the blood of your heroes
You were the ones who refused to surrender
The 3, rather die than to flee, know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
[Verse 2]
3 took the blow while impressing their foe
Throwing dice, with their lives as they’re paying the price
Sent to raise hell, hear the toll of the bell
It is calling for you as the Wehrmacht devised
[Pre-Chorus]
Far, far from home, to a war
Fought on foreign soil and
Far, far from known, tell their tale
Their forgotten story
Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória
[Chorus]
Rise from the blood of your heroes
You were the ones who refused to surrender
The 3, rather die than to flee, know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
[Bridge]
Sent overseas to be cast into fire
Fought for a purpose with pride and desire
Blood of the brave they would give to inspire
Cobras Fumantes, your memory lives
Sent overseas to be cast into fire
Fought for a purpose with pride and desire
Blood of the brave they would give to inspire
Cobras Fumantes, your memory lives
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória
[Chorus]
Rise from the blood of your heroes
You were the ones who refused to surrender
The 3, rather die than to flee, know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
[Outro]
We remember, no surrender
Heroes of our century
