Hino de São Gonçalo do Rio Abaixo - MG

From the top of the Mother Church, the patron saint
São Gonçalo, the good Portuguese saint
Guides our people all year round
With a staff in hand, always shining

The river flows gently and bountifully
Fertilizing meadows and mountains
It's a precious gift from God
For it is rich in gold in its depths

Majestic and always beautiful
Surrounded by hills
Our land is a watercolor
Greening in the fields

Serra do Catungui is like embers
In these bloodstained afternoons of sun
The protective deity spreads its wings
Over the city, the well-painted houses

The cheerful people fight all year round
Their open hearts are a treasure
And they welcome the stranger gladly
Be it from the North or the South

Majestic and always beautiful
Surrounded by hills
Our land is a watercolor
Greening in the fields
