We remember, no surrender
Heroes of our century
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
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
Rise, from the blood of your heroes
You, were the ones who refused to surrender,
The three, rather died than to flee know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
Three 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
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
Rise, from the blood of your heroes
You, were the ones who refused to surrender,
The three, rather died than to flee know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
Sent over seas 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
Cobras fumantes eterna é sua vitória
Rise, from the blood of your heroes
You, were the ones who refused to surrender,
The three, rather died than to flee know that your memory
Will be sung for a century
We remember, no surrender
Heroes of our century

Utwór „Smoking Snakes” ukazał się na siódmym albumie studyjnym grupy Sabaton. Płytę „Heroes” wypuszczono w maju 2014 roku. Kompozycja jest wspólnym dziełem muzyków grupy – Joakima Brodéna i Pära Sundströma. Utwór opowiada historię Brazylijczyków walczących na frontach II wojny światowej. Nacja ta wspierała aliantów w ich wspólnym wysiłku przeciwko Państwom Osi. Trzech brazylijskich żołnierzy, nie zważając na miażdżącą przewagę przeciwnika, walczyło z niemieckim oddziałem na froncie włoskim do wyczerpania zapasów. Mimo groźby śmierci próbowali zatrzymać napór przeciwnika, walcząc wręcz. Po zabiciu nieprzyjaciela Niemcy docenili wysiłek przeciwnika, honorując groby poległych pamiątkowym napisem „Trzech brazylijskich bohaterów”.
