Meu Mato Grosso do Sul

Walking through the four corners
Of our state
I could discover
How wise nature is
And what it offers for us to feel

There are rivers, forests, fauna, and flora
That surprise us
With each new day
When the sun rises
As if calling
Us to live

If I hear Helena Meireles
Zé Correia or Zacarias Mourão
I remember a dance at the farm
Under a cedar tree
How good that is

But if you want to know
How much beauty there is
In our Pantanal
Let yourself be carried away by the poetry
Of Manoel de Barros
Everything is so real

My Mato Grosso do Sul
My song is all for you
My song is for every city
For every poet
Every dawn...
