Lyrics
Portuguese original
Paulista, para só um instante,
Dos teus quatro séculos,
Ante tua terra sem fronteiras,
O teu São Paulo das bandeiras!
Deixa para trás o presente,
Olha o passado a frente,
Vem com Martim Afonso a São Vicente,
Galga a Serra do Mar!
Além, lá no alto,
Batira sonha sossegadamente.
Na sua rede virgem do Planalto.
Espreita, entre a folhagem de esmeralda,
Beija-lhe a Cruz de estrelas de Grinalda!
Agora escuta!
Aí vem, moendo o cascalho,
Botas de nove léguas, João Ramalho;
Serra acima, dos baixos da restinga,
Vem subindo a roupeta,
De Nóbrega e de Anchieta!
Contempla os campos,
De Piratininga!
Este o colégio,
Adiante está o sertão.
Vai, segue a entrada!
Enfrenta, Avança, Investe!
Norte, Sul, Leste, Oeste!
Em bandeira ou monção,
Doma os índios bravios,
Rompe a selva, abre minas, vara rios!
No leito da jazida,
Acorda a pedraria adormecida,
Retorce os braços rijos,
E tira o ouro, de seus esconderijos!
Bateia, escorre a ganga,
Lava, planta, povoa!
Depois volta a garoa!
E adivinha, atrás dessa cortina,
Na tardinha, enfeitada de miçanga,
A sagrada colina,
Ao grito do Ipiranga!
Entreabre agora os véus,
Do cafezal, Senhor dos Horizontes!
Verás fluir por plainos, vales, montes, usinas, gares, silos, cais, arranha-céus!
English translation
Paulista, stop for just a moment
From your four centuries,
Before your land without borders
Your São Paulo of the bandeiras!
Let the present behind
Look to the past ahead
Come with Martim Afonso to São Vicente,
Go beyond the Serra do Mar!
Beyond, up high,
Bartira dreams peacefully
In the virgin net of the plateau.
Peep her by the emerald-like leaves,
Kiss the Cross of Stars in her garland
Now listen!
Here he comes, smashing the gravels,
With nine leagues boots, João Ramalho;
Up in the mountains, above the sandbanks
Nobrega's and Anchieta's cassocks
Are coming up
Behold the fields,
Of Piratininga!
This is the school,
The interior is ahead.
Go! Follow the entrada!
Confront! Advance! Attack!
North, South, East, West!
In bandeira or monção
Tame the wild Indians
Breach the jungle, open mines, cross the rivers!
In the edge of the placer,
Wake up the sleeping minerals,
Retwist the wiery arms,
And take the gold out of its hiding-place!
Pan, separate the gangue,
Cultivate, plant, populate!
Then, return to the drizzle!
And guess, through this curtain,
In the evening, adorned with glass beads,
The Sacred Hill,
Of the Shout of Ipiranga!
Timidly open the veils,
Of the coffee plantation, Lord of the Horizons!
You will see it flow through plains, valleys, mountains, factories, stations, silos, quays, and skyscrapers!

gollark: Besides, we tried that with other stuff and it failed.
gollark: Not *exactly*.
gollark: It really took off around April.
