Anthem of the municipality of Mãe do Rio
I
Behold the landmark of your birth
Was your people wanting to obtain
Your history, your own monument,
Your glory, your own power.
The dominion of others
Wearied your being,
But your motto
Was always to conquer!
For since the era when the 'road' was built
Your land was colonized.
Achieving elevated urbanization.
You only lacked liberation.
In pursuit of the goal,
The people united in a fierce chain
Established in your center, your heart
Giving more life to the cry of your voice.
II
After the longed-for emancipation
Freely you could advance
To work, to progress, to evolution,
To supply and honor your people.
Surprising conquest
Your land achieved,
That your fame
Reached far.
Your culture and fortune reveal the value
Of your people who lead
A proud herd and riches beyond,
To prove your strength as well.
From your fertile soil
Fruits emanate that sustain everyone
And by raising well your greatness,
The strong wood holds your people.
III
The banner that your mast displays,
Symbolizes the effective progress
Emerging from the soul of your people,
Through a desire for love and Peace.
Your beautiful sky
And your pure greenery,
Reveal the glory
That your future holds.
Hail the serene source that baptized you,
Limiting your great splendor
Through a very strong spring,
Marking your existence to the north.
Your name flows,
Proudly throughout Brazil.
Compared to the waters of a rough sea
You are honorably, Mother of the River.
