Hino de Piranhas

Piranhas, with love...
I write this song for you
Terrinha, in the backlands
Of truly hospitable people.

We feel
When we go down
The road
We see you
Nestled
Among the mountains
At dusk...
The São Francisco River
Down below
The full moon
The fisherman
And the one who sows
The love that is born
In you.

Piranhas, with love.... (REPEAT)

The student
From the small town
Who learns
Rich or poor
Feels
Much love
In the heart
Many doctors
And noble people
Have come from there
Whether rich
Or poor
Ennobles
Their homeland.

Piranhas, with love... (REPEAT)

And if we arrive
By the river
In a small boat,
Up there,
The little church
The viewpoint
The station...
Its landscape
Of Lapinha
Enchanted
Oh! Piranhas
Beloved land
That captures
Our hearts.
