Hino do Maranhão

Between the murmur of ancient forests
One day you heard in the blue space, vibrating
The roar of the cannons in battles
After, a festive anthem, resounding

You repressed the Flemish adventurer
And forced him to seek refuge at sea
And two centuries later, you told the Portuguese
Freedom is the Sun that gives us life
