Orgulho de Ser Nordestino

Beyond the fierce drought
The beaten ground and the thicket
My Northeast has pride

If you want to know, then come
I will show you the password
Of the heart of Brazil

There are nine states in the line
All with beach baths
Under a sky of anil and heat

There are nine United States
Growing strengthened
Where Brazil began

And today at the heel of science
They form a great power
Irrigating the dry land
True, the drought still leaves a mark
But it was learning from it
That our Northeast gained
Stopped living off charity at once
And was discovering in school
The greatness of our value

I want to sing about the Northeast
That is big and growing
And you don't know, doctor
Of a warrior, festive and orderly people
Of such hardworking people
So don't step on it, travel and research
Get to know this land up close
Just to see that the Northeast
Now is the one who wears
Is the one who proudly dresses the nation
