Hino de Florianópolis
"Um pedacinho de terra,
perdido no mar!...
Num pedacinho de terra,
beleza sem par...
Jamais a natureza
reuniu tanta beleza
jamais algum poeta
teve tanto pra cantar!
Num pedacinho de terra
belezas sem par!
Ilha da moça faceira,
da velha rendeira tradicional
Ilha da velha figueira
onde em tarde fagueira
vou ler meu jornal.
Tua lagoa formosa
ternura de rosa
poema ao luar,
cristal onde a lua vaidosa
sestrosa, dengosa
vem se espelhar..."
Anthem of Florianópolis
A little piece of land,
lost in the sea!...
On a little piece of land,
unparalleled beauty...
Never has nature
gathered so much beauty
never has any poet
had so much to sing about!
On a little piece of land
unparalleled beauties!
Island of the flirtatious girl,
of the old traditional lace maker
Island of the old fig tree
where on a cheerful afternoon
I'll read my newspaper.
Your beautiful lagoon
tenderness of a rose
poem in the moonlight,
crystal where the vain moon
coquettish, affectionate
comes to reflect itself...
