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
My origin
In the province of São Pedro
Patron of the Beloved Homeland

Oh! My Rio Grande
Of a thousand charms
Ready for everything
For Brazil

Beloved homeland of vineyards
From grapes comes the wine
From the people comes the affection
Kindness is never too much

Birthplace of Flores da Cunha
And Borges de Medeiros
Land of Getúlio Vargas
Brazilian President

I am from the same source
May God grant me health
So I can see for many years
The blue sky of Rio Grande

I want you so much
Gaucho land
I give myself the luxury to die for you
Beloved Homeland

Plain and hills
Of the arms that pull me
Of the beautiful Gaucho woman
Beauty of my land

My heart is small
Why did God make me this way
Rio Grande is much bigger
But fits inside me

I am from the younger generation
A very manly and handsome poet
In my veins flows
The hero blood of the ragamuffin

God is Gaucho
With spur and lasso
Was he a Maragato or a Chimango
Beloved Homeland

My sky of anil
This giant Rio Grande
Another shining star
In the Brazilian flag
