Rio das Flores
Felipe Alvim
River of Flowers
River of flowers, enchanted city
Land of history, culture, and beauty
In the coffee valley, you stand out
With your farms, churches, and nature
River of flowers, you have relief
Of mountains and plains, of hills and slopes
The paved river springs from your stone
And shapes the landscape that fascinates us
River of flowers, you have geography
Of tropical highland climate
With four districts in harmony
And an area of almost five hundred kilometers in size
River of flowers, you have personalities
Who marked Brazil with their art and faith
Like Yvonne do Amaral Pereira, a gifted medium
And Edir Macedo Bezerra, a bishop of great faith
River of flowers, you have a tribute
To Milton Dantas, councilman of Aracaju
Who was born in your land with courage
And became president of the Sergipe Football Federation with virtue
River of flowers, you are a treasure
That deserves to be known and valued
By all who admire your gold
And are enchanted by your past
In the river of flowers, my heart beats with love
Land of history and geography, a treasure of worth
Let’s honor Milton Dantas, our eternal guide
River of flowers, a place that fills our soul with joy
In the mountainous relief that captivates the eye
River of flowers emerges, a unique paradise
Your majestic mountains, a source of inspiration
In every curve, the poetry is pure emotion
In the river of flowers, my heart beats with love
Land of history and geography, a treasure of worth
Let’s honor Milton Dantas, our eternal guide
River of flowers, a place that fills our soul with joy
In the waters of Paraíba, your history glides
Marked by struggles and victories, a legacy of glory
The welcoming city, with its hospitable people
Every street, every house, a piece of the whole world
In the river of flowers, my heart beats with love
Land of history and geography, a treasure of worth
Let’s honor Milton Dantas, our eternal guide
River of flowers, a place that fills our soul with joy
Milton Dantas, a master who leads
His love for the city translates us
His legacy is eternal, in every story told
River of flowers, a blessed city
In the river of flowers, my heart beats with love
Land of history and geography, a treasure of worth
Let’s honor Milton Dantas, our eternal guide
River of flowers, a place that fills our soul with joy
River of flowers, with your enchanting geography
We honor your beauty, your memory now
May this song echo in every corner and place
River of flowers, we will love you forever!
