Hino de Barra Mansa - RJ

May your name be sculpted
In the granite of unmatched rocks,
And by all with repeated love,
With prayers before the altar!
May every lip murmur it as a hymn
May it be the sweet pledge
Of an affection so great and divine,
So sublime and purer than love!

Barra Mansa! Barra Mansa!
Glory to you! Hosanna a thousand times!
You bring back sweet hope
In a corner of Brazil!

Your glory, shining brightly,
With more vivid brilliance and light,
Resonates in the distant valley,
Goes beyond those bluer skies!
Goes beyond those mountains and speaks
Of the existence of a people fighting,
Of your happy people, who are equal
to titans in fierce battling!

Barra Mansa! Barra Mansa! (etc.)

Your name also reminds us
Of a soft murmur, a forgiveness,
A tenderness overflowing
From your children in your heart!
It also recalls the gentleness,
The beauty, the moral greatness
Of the women you have, the joy
The unparalleled purity of Vestal!

Barra Mansa! Barra Mansa! (etc.)

From the Creator, the just hand
Has already traced your destiny in time...
Barra Mansa, you will be the first
For the goods that the Lord has given you!
May each stage won in battle
Always bring a better glory,
A holier glory that is
Among all triumphs the greatest!
