Hino de Floresta - PE

Pereira Maciel, the sertanejos
Decide to call upon our land
The seed of Christ was planted
To the Virgin of the Rosary he entrusted
The fate of the brothers working

Chorus
My land, today I came to sing to you
O Floresta, blessed home
Your children far away from here
Working, remember you
They all return to see you, smiling
Among friends, reminiscing the past
They tell stories that life taught
And in knowledge, they were victorious

Wounding their feet, they harvested from the burning land
What they could, what God mercifully gave them
The seed of Christ was born here
It flourished in the rosary of the Virgin
And the worship, in knowledge, also grew

Chorus

Floresta, oh beautiful and warm corner
Of strong cradle, land of hope
From your soil so punished
Only my dreams of love I saw sprout
And yet I made my home in you

Chorus
