Coração da Pátria
Eduardo Costa
Heart of the Homeland
I was born in Goiás in Jataí
From my great state I never left
I've already traveled through my beautiful plateau
I found abundance, I didn't see misery
In Pires do Rio where I learned
To sing calmly for Brazil to hear
To my companions, I am here
To sing with class everything I learned
Green and hope, I tell the truth
I left Rio Verde with happiness
I came to Santa Helena, land of kindness
In Goiatuba, I made friends
Buriti Alegre has plenty of cattle
And from Panamá, I went to Trindade
In Piracanjuba, I left longing
I went to Morrinhos, a beautiful city
I came from Ipameri, it's a fine jewel
In São Luiz, there are beautiful girls
In Porangatu, it almost captivates me
I left for Ceres and then Planaltina
I passed through Inhumas and also Cristalina
And from Hidrolândia, I went to Pontalina
I went to Caldas Novas for medicine
I live in Itumbiara, bordering Minas
I really liked the city of Anápolis
And in Catalão, land of my parents
Formosa and Silvânia equally beautiful
I will never forget my old Goiás
Ancient capital from times past
Today is Goiânia, flower of the capitals
Order and progress Brasília brings us
The heart of the homeland is in Goiás
