Hino de Porto Seguro

Porto Seguro!
Harbor of the fleet
Arrival on the day Brazil dawned!
Porto Seguro - oh! Beautiful illuminated beach.
Oh! Golden nest where Brazil was born.

Cradle guarded by the towering hill
Which on an Easter, among the waves, virginal,
Showed the World the new Brazilian world
That, laughing in flowers, welcomed Cabral!

Port of ermine,
Of scent and light
Oh! Hail, nest
Of the True Cross!

Sacred port,
Porto Seguro,
That guards, in the custody of the past,
The living glory that is in the future.

In you still echoes the bell
That modulated in the first mass
In you echoes the words of Caminha
Who was dazzled by the splendors of Brazil
And the voice of Friar Henrique when he had
In his hands the host that consecrated us to Jesus.

Porto Seguro, oh! Nest of calm,
Where Cabral's seagull took refuge,
May God open in you his covenant
Oh! Pure nest where Brazil was born!

Port of ermine
Of scent and light
Oh! Hail, nest,
Of the True Cross
