Hino da Paraíba
Hinos de Estados
Hymn of Paraíba
Hail, oh cradle of heroism
Paraíba, beloved land
Milky Way of civic spirit
Drawn under the sky of love!
In the famous diadem
That clarifies the source of the Homeland
There may be a larger gem
There is no pearl more rare!
When repelling the assault
From the foreigner, you fought
Your valor shone so high
That you seemed like a star!
In this fearless struggle
Your courage was a model
Like a fiery red Ruby
You blazed in Cabedelo!
Then, when the South, in an instant
Called for your strong arm
Your flashing sword
Was the diamond of the North!
When, finally, the dawn
Of November dazzles us
Like a Sun, your sword
Shines and dispels the darkness!
You have a past of glory
You have a present without blemish
Sing the victory of the future
And let Light be made by your gesture!
Hail, oh cradle of heroism
Paraíba, beloved land
Milky Way of civic spirit
Drawn under the sky of love!
