Hino de Santa Maria Madalena - RJ

Hail cradle, dear, Hail Earth
In which we receive life
In your beautiful bosom is enclosed
Every image of the beloved Homeland
Valleys, fields, countless rugged cliffs
In your blooming forests, what harmony
When the sun rises on the horizon
For the noble battle of the day

Native land, you Madalena
You are a sanctuary for us
For you, to the heavens, small Homeland
Our voices rise in chorus

Gentle land that we adore so much
You are not large, on the contrary, you are small
But what does it matter if we love you so much
If we fight for you, Madalena

Outsiders, also travelers
Already call you beloved mother cradle
And your name in distant lands
Is remembered with tenderness and affection

Native land, you Madalena
You are a sanctuary for us
For you, to the heavens, small Homeland
Our voices rise in chorus

In the greatness of your forests
In the beauty of your infinity
God's kindness is manifested
Humble, sacred, blessed cradle

And like a beloved new Canaan
Is our deep desire
Everything, everything tells us beloved land
That you are a piece of heaven in this world

Native land, you Madalena
You are a sanctuary for us
For you, to the heavens, small Homeland
Our voices rise in chorus

Native land, you Madalena
You are a sanctuary for us
For you, to the heavens, small Homeland
Our voices rise in chorus
