Hino de Pernambuco
Alceu Valença
Anthem of Pernambuco
Heart of Brazil
In your bosom flows the blood of heroes, red vein
That will always translate valor
You are the source of life and history
Of this people covered in glory
The first, perhaps, of the future
Hail, oh land of tall coconut trees
Of magnificent beauty
New Rome of brave warriors
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
These mountains, and valleys, and rivers
Proclaiming the value of your pride
Reproduce cruel battles
In the present, you are the vanguard
A sacred and unwavering sentinel
Defending the laurels of the homeland
Hail, oh land of tall coconut trees
Of magnificent beauty
New Rome of brave warriors
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
You are the belief, the hope of the future
Of this people who proudly rest
Like an athlete after fighting
In the past, your name was a myth
It was the Sun shining in the infinite
It was the glory shining on Earth!
Hail, oh land of tall coconut trees
Of magnificent beauty
New Rome of brave warriors
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
The Republic is a daughter of Olinda
A bright star that shines and never ends
Shining with its rays of light
Freedom proclaims one of your sons!
Inflaming the hearts of slaves
Before the Sun of this land of the cross
Hail, oh land of tall coconut trees
Of magnificent beauty
New Rome of brave warriors
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
Hail, oh land of tall coconut trees
Of magnificent beauty
New Rome of brave warriors
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
Immortal Pernambuco, immortal!
