Hino de Florianópolis

A little piece of land,"Um pedacinho de terra,
lost in the sea!...perdido no mar!...
On a little piece of land,Num pedacinho de terra,
unparalleled beauty...beleza sem par...
Never has natureJamais a natureza
gathered so much beautyreuniu tanta beleza
never has any poetjamais algum poeta
had so much to sing about!teve tanto pra cantar!

On a little piece of landNum pedacinho de terra
unparalleled beauties!belezas sem par!
Island of the flirtatious girl,Ilha da moça faceira,
of the old traditional lace makerda velha rendeira tradicional
Island of the old fig treeIlha da velha figueira
where on a cheerful afternoononde em tarde fagueira
I'll read my newspaper.vou ler meu jornal.

Your beautiful lagoonTua lagoa formosa
tenderness of a roseternura de rosa
poem in the moonlight,poema ao luar,
crystal where the vain mooncristal onde a lua vaidosa
coquettish, affectionatesestrosa, dengosa
comes to reflect itself...vem se espelhar..."
