Quarto Centenário
Mario Zan
Four Hundredth Anniversary
São Paulo, beloved land
Immense city of a thousand greatness
It's you, beloved land
Progress and glory of my Brazil
O pioneer land
Of whom our nation is proud
Of this giant Brazil
You are the soul and heart
Salute the cry of Ipiranga
That history has consecrated
It was in you, oh my São Paulo
That Brazil was liberated
Your four hundredth anniversary
We celebrate with love
Your fruitful work shows
To the whole world your worth
Oh beautiful land of Anchieta
Of the fearless pioneer
A world of art and beauty
Has been built in you
You have your nights adorned
By the drizzle in a dense veil
Above your buildings
That seem to reach the sky
