Hino do Município de João Monlevade

From work, will and bravery,
A beautiful story began,
Of city, people and culture,
Slowly conquering its glory.

A forge, a flame and then the steel,
Black strength, for a great future,
From the toil, tiredness doesn't matter,
For the goal is to grow, to build.

(Chorus)
And a brave city arose,
Among the rocks of the lofty state,
Hail, hail João Monlevade!
Splendor of the mining progress.

From virtue, it became a worker,
Of progress, a great pioneer,
Of work, a loyal volunteer,
That exalts the Brazilian nation.

Beautiful and young, like a blooming flower,
To perfume around itself,
João Monlevade blossoms,
To achieve a future of glory.
