Hino de São Bento do Una - Pe

I see São Bento in another dimension
With childlike eyes, filled with emotion
The full moon behind the mansion
And that boyfriend on duty at the corner
I see São Bento from the old market
Where my fascinated echo would respond
I finally see São Bento in nostalgia
On that summer afternoon when I left.

São Bento, my lyre is small
My voice is hoarse to sing your praises
Sometimes I think of being a poet
To honor you in a huge verse
I would speak so plaintively
Of an afternoon so sorrowful that I never forget
I would remember the serenades, our strolls,
Our grand carnivals.

São Bento of Feliciano
End-of-year parties, I really want to remember
Zé Bico, Edésio and Fininho, Rui de Nô and
Doutorzinho, Gonzaguinha and Edgar
I remember the sound of the ukulele
That from the Coquinhos' house reached our chalet
I do remember and moved
The chords so mournful from Jacaré's pine.
