Hino de Canindé
Hinos de Cidades
Anthem of Canindé
Canindé, your name is a prayer,
For one day Rui Barbosa praised you,
And like Assis you were chosen,
By the one whom Jesus trusted the most.
(Chorus)
Canindé, Canindé we love you
And keep a place for you in our hearts
Whoever comes to you never forgets
Sanctuary of faith and prayer.
From immense Brazil, so tiny,
Xavier de Medeiros made you flourish,
And made you rise in a field,
In this most beautiful meadow in Brazil.
In the distance we hear the bell,
Of the Basilica of your Holy protector,
No fate can make us forget you,
Holy land of hope and love!
