"Canção do exílio" (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐ̃ˈsɐ̃w dw eˈzilju], Exile song) is a poem written by the Brazilian Romantic author Gonçalves Dias in 1843, when he was in Portugal studying Law at the University of Coimbra. The poem is a famous example of the first phase of Brazilian Romanticism, which was characterized by strong nationalism and patriotism. The poem first appeared in Dias' book Primeiros Cantos (First Chants), published in 1846. It was influenced by and loosely based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's ballad Mignon, and some verses of the ballad are used as the poem's epigraph.
