Hino de Sertânia - PE

Enamored of Jabitacá
Sertânia sees the sun in its yard
The cactus that adorns it will be
Promise of a bright future
Although everything goes to potluck
Calamity in Brazilian soil
Sertânia emerges from this sea of dust
For the resurrection of Moxotó

How beautiful Sertânia is in the desert
That the sun - adamantine dagger - pierces
Awakens to the glory that is near
Miraculously revived

Like the cowboy in the rugged caatinga
Sertânia lives moments of odyssey
Resists combustion, does not shy away from the fight
Its features have the splendor of an epic

The land - potential in brute force
By a singular aberration of the idea
Rarely sees Moxotó pass by
And beyond, embrace the São Francisco
