Paulo Afonso

Delmiro had the idea
Apolônio took advantage
Getúlio made the decree
And Dutra carried out
President Café
Inaugurated the plant
And thanks to this feat
Of men who are worthy
My Paulo Afonso was
A dream
That has already come true

Looking at Paulo Afonso
I praise our engineer
I praise our cassava
Good true caboclo
Hey! I see the Northeast
Raising the flag
Of order and progress
The Brazilian nation
I see the industry generating wealth
Ending the drought
Saving poverty

I hear the happy messenger plant
Saying in the power of the waterfall
Brazil goes, Brazil goes
Brazil goes, Brazil goes
Go, go, go, go, go, go
