Hino de Santa Helena - PR

Brave people migrated from afarBravas raças migraram de longe
Towards a land of fertile groundsRumo á terra de férteis canteiros
That germinates the seeds of dreamsQue germina sementes de sonhos
And enhances this rich granaryE engrandece esse rico celeiro

Upon feeling the latent progressAo sentir o progresso latente
These people here settled firmlyEssa gente aqui se firmou
Many others followed their trailMuitos outros seguiram sua trilha
And soon a strong people was formedE tão logo um povo forte se formou

Upon returning on the wings of timeAo voltarmos nas asas do tempo
A fertile past beckonsUm passado fecundo acena
Registering a history of gritRegistrando uma história de garra
In the memory of Santa HelenaNa memória de Santa Helena

One day the waters of the riverCerto dia as águas do rio
Spread themselves over this groundEstenderam-se sobre este chão
Many children left the soilMuitos filhos deixaram o solo
Going in search of a new havenIndo em busca de novo rincão

But the faith of those who remainedMas a fé dos que continuaram
Grew with the strength of the riverCom a força do rio cresceu
It made new fruits, new flowers sproutFez brotar novas frutas, novas flores
And soon hope was strengthenedE tão logo a esperança fortaleceu

As we look upon the time of todayAo olharmos no tempo de hoje
A present of struggles beckonsUm presente de lutas acena
Demonstrating the love for the landDemonstrando o amor pela terra
Of these people of Santa HelenaDesta gente de Santa Helena

Today the waters reflect the colorsHoje as águas refletem as cores
That adorn with simplicityQue adornam com simplicidade
Attracting from every cornerAtraindo de todos os cantos
Visitors to our cityVisitantes á nossa cidade

Who enjoy all the magicQue desfrutam de toda a magia
Of the beauties in each nookDas belezas de cada recanto
Of the warmth of a hospitable peopleDo calor de um povo hospitaleiro
And soon are taken by enchantmentE tão logo são tomados de encanto

As we gaze at the vast horizonAo mirarmos o vasto horizonte
A future of glories beckonsUm futuro de glórias acena
With promises of full progressCom promessas de feno progresso
From the city of Santa HelenaDa cidade de Santa Helena
