Hino de São Luís - MA
Ó minha cidade, deixa-me viver
Que eu quero aprender tua poesia
Sol e maresia, lendas e mistérios
Luar das serestas e o azul de teus dias
Quero ouvir à noite tambores do Congo
Gemendo e cantando dores e saudades
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
Quero ler nas ruas, fontes, cantarias
Torres e mirantes, igrejas, sobrados
Nas lentas ladeiras que sobem angústias
Sonhos do futuro, glórias do passado
Quero ouvir à noite tambores do Congo
Gemendo e cantando dores e saudades
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
Ó minha cidade, deixa-me viver
Que eu quero aprender tua poesia
Sol e maresia, lendas e mistérios
Luar das serestas e o azul de teus dias
Quero ouvir à noite tambores do Congo
Gemendo e cantando dores e saudades
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
Quero ler nas ruas, fontes, cantarias
Torres e mirantes, igrejas, sobrados
Nas lentas ladeiras que sobem angústias
Sonhos do futuro, glórias do passado
Quero ouvir à noite tambores do Congo
Gemendo e cantando dores e saudades
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
A evocar martírios, lágrimas e açoites
Que floriram claros sóis da liberdade
Anthem of São Luís - MA
Oh my city, let me live
For I want to learn your poetry
Sun and sea breeze, legends and mysteries
Moonlight of serenades and the blue of your days
I want to hear at night the drums of Congo
Moaning and singing pains and longings
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
I want to read in the streets, fountains, carvings
Towers and viewpoints, churches, mansions
In the slow slopes that rise anxieties
Dreams of the future, glories of the past
I want to hear at night the drums of Congo
Moaning and singing pains and longings
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
Oh my city, let me live
For I want to learn your poetry
Sun and sea breeze, legends and mysteries
Moonlight of serenades and the blue of your days
I want to hear at night the drums of Congo
Moaning and singing pains and longings
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
I want to read in the streets, fountains, carvings
Towers and viewpoints, churches, mansions
In the slow slopes that rise anxieties
Dreams of the future, glories of the past
I want to hear at night the drums of Congo
Moaning and singing pains and longings
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
Evoking martyrdom, tears and lashes
That flourished clear suns of freedom
