Hino do Município de Cuiabá

The "Hino do Município de Cuiabá" is a song that serves as an anthem for the city of Cuiabá, the capital of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The lyrics are a poetic homage to the city, highlighting its natural beauty, historical significance, and spiritual richness. The anthem personifies the city as a source of enchantment and pride for its inhabitants, with references to its celestial beauty and the golden wealth it possesses.

In the first verse, Cuiabá is described with celestial imagery, suggesting a divine favor and a sense of awe inspired by the city's skyline at dawn. The chorus emphasizes the city's wealth, not just in terms of material gold, but also in its spiritual connection to the figure of Senhor Bom Jesus, a reference to the Christian faith prevalent in the region. The city is also called the 'Cidade-luz' of the state, which translates to 'City of Light,' indicating its prominence and status as a beacon within Mato Grosso.

The second and third verses continue to build on the city's virtues, with the second verse likening its fragrance to that of a rose garden and its capacity to inspire devotion and overcome adversity. The third verse pays tribute to the city's historical roots, specifically mentioning Pascoal Moreira Cabral, a prominent figure in the city's discovery and colonization. The repetition of the chorus after each verse reinforces the central themes of wealth, spirituality, and pride, making the anthem a resonant declaration of Cuiabá's identity and the affection its citizens hold for it.
