Hino de Xique-Xique - BA

From an island gazing at your goldDe uma ilha a mirar o teu ouro
That gilded horizons from the mountainsQue das serras douravam horizontes
Your History, like another treasure,Tua História, qual outro tesouro,
Shines among valleys and hills,Resplandece entre vales e montes,
The bravery of the fierce Indian,A bravura do índio aguerrido,
And the unmatched audacity of the white,E do branco a audácia sem par,
With the tenderness of the suffering blackCom a ternura do negro sofrido
Are the foundations of your triumph.São as bases do teu triunfar.

Through fields, mines, and rivers,Pelos campos, garimpos e rios,
In the districts and in the villages,Nos distritos e nos povoados,
Your children cultivate your prideOs teus filhos cultivam teus brios
For their deeds, in love, sublimated.Por seus feitos, no amor, sublimados.
Glory to you among cacti and flowersGlória a ti entre cactos e flores
Always loving and serving Brazil!Sempre amando e servindo ao Brasil!
Glory to you who sing praises to God!Glória a ti que a Deus canta louvores!
Glory to you, gentle Xique-Xique!Glória a ti Xique-Xique gentil!

In poetic expression only of loveEm poética expressão só de amor
Kissing your São Francisco River,A beijar o teu Rio São Francisco,
The sun, from sunrise to sunset,Por ti o sol, ao nascer ao se pôr,
Thanks it for the fish, the shellfish...Agradece-lhe o peixe, o marisco...
Inspired by the Gospel of Christ,No Evangelho de Cristo inspirado,
May only goodness be practiced by your peopleSó bondade teu povo pratique
So that you may have a life dottedPrá que tenhas viver pontilhado
With a thousand glories, happy Xique-Xique!De mil glórias, feliz Xique-Xique!
