Hino de Catarina

Catarina, up on the top of the mountain you are,
Meeting the deep blue sky
Showing the beauty within you,
Rising to others with a thousand charms
Proud and graceful like the rising sun.

Oh Catarina! How beautiful and lofty you are
And your history is one of struggle and greatness.
How many mountains guard you imposingly;
How many places from the heights you survey,
Displaying your growing future!

O Catarina, my Catarina
Sun land, light land
Nestled near the sky.
Your climate seduces
And your hospitable people
Fascinate everyone.

Your pioneers
Make us proud,
With deeds,
Warriors.
Brave fighters
Who came from overseas.
They generated strong races
And planted them here.

Beloved land! You never feared the toil
And early on learned to face
The great harsh droughts of life,
Sending your children anywhere,
As victors and not as vanquished.

How many illustrious children you lent
To grow in distant lands!
And with pride they do not leave you in thought,
Not days, not hours, not moments,
Filling your name with glory always.

You did not refuse to go with the troops,
When you were still small
And in service of the gentle soil
You sent one of your sons to war,
To defend the beloved homeland Brazil.

Catarina, let's increase your deeds
Exalting your hardworking coat of arms,
Make your people proud of your history,
Rescuing your valuable heroes
To serve as worship and glory.

Oh Catarina! Your past will be a mirror
In the struggle of the men here present,
With our youth growing healthily
Reflecting on your absent ones,
To build your future one day.
