Hino de Toledo - PR

The song 'Hino de Toledo - PR' by Hinos de Cidades is a heartfelt tribute to the city of Toledo in Paraná, Brazil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place rich in natural beauty and community spirit. The reference to 'águas de prata' (silver waters) and 'flor ainda em botão' (a flower still in bud) suggests a city that is both precious and full of potential. This imagery sets the tone for a song that celebrates both the innocence and the promise of Toledo.

The song extends a warm welcome to newcomers, particularly workers, emphasizing the city's inclusive and industrious nature. The lines 'Seja Bem-vindo, trabalhador, Nos ajude a crescer' (Welcome, worker, help us grow) and 'Seja Bem-vindo, você é meu irmão' (Welcome, you are my brother) highlight the communal spirit and the importance of labor in the city's development. The phrase 'Toledo, cidade-labor' (Toledo, city of labor) encapsulates this sentiment, portraying Toledo as a place where hard work and community go hand in hand.

Gratitude is a recurring theme in the song, with multiple thanks given to the Lord for the city's blessings. The lyrics express appreciation for the natural beauty of Toledo, from its 'jardins de soja' (soybean gardens) to its 'belos trigais' (beautiful wheat fields) and 'verdes pinheirais' (green pine groves). The repeated thanks to 'Cristo Rei Protetor' (Christ the King Protector) underscore a sense of divine protection and guidance, adding a spiritual dimension to the song's celebration of the city's natural and communal wealth.
