Querência Amada

Whoever wants to know who I am
Look at the blue sky
And shout along with me
Long live Rio Grande do Sul

The handkerchief identifies me
Where I come from
From the province of São Pedro
Patron of the beloved homeland

Oh, my Rio Grande
Of a thousand charms
Ready for anything for Brazil
Beloved homeland of vineyards
From grapes comes the wine
From the people comes the affection
Kindness is never too much

God is a gaucho
With spurs and lasso
Was he a maragato or a chimango
Beloved homeland
My sky of indigo
This giant Rio Grande
Another shining star
In the flag of Brazil

Ah, I am a Gaucho
Ah, I am a Gaucho
Ah, I am a Gaucho
