Full lyrics

Pesqueira centenária

Meus parabéns pra você

Quero vaqueiro aboiando

Sirena forte apitando

E xucurús a dançar

Cem anos da minha amiga

Pesqueira desta cantiga

Pra ela vamos cantar

Pra ela vamos cantar

Pra ela vamos cantar


Falei com a Natureza

Pedi a ela beleza

Pra festa que vamos dar

O sol, a lua, o vento

Estrelas do firmamento

Chegaram para enfeitar

Chegaram para enfeitar

Chegaram para enfeitar


Poço do pesqueiro, Fazenda

Do Capitão-Mor, Capitão

Cavalo gordo, escravos

Um bom chicote na mão

Um dia chegou à Vila

Depois cidade ficou

Tão grande o seu progresso

Que o mundo inteiro abalou

Que o mundo inteiro abalou


Da linda serra ao lado

Eu faço um bolo enfeitado

Pra gente comemorar

Da chaminés faço as velas

As acender todas elas

Eu vejo o céu clarear

Eu vejo o céu clarear

Eu vejo o céu clarear


A padroeira presente

Sorrindo pra nossa gente

Um lindo quadro se ver

É o Cruzeiro se erguendo

Abrindo os braços e regendo


Os parabéns pra você

Os parabéns pra você

Os parabéns pra você


Venha Sinhá Dina

E traga Emilia Doceira

O Velho Carlos Maria

É Centenária Pesqueira

Venham a festa

Os nossos desbravadores

Os literatas, os artistas

Poetas, nossos valores


Venha Sinhá Dina

E traga Emilia Doceira

Translation

Centenarian Pesqueira

My congratulations to you

I want vaqueiro singing cattle calls

Strong siren blowing

And xucurús dancing

One hundred years of my friend

Pesqueira of this song

For her we will sing

For her we will sing

For her we will sing


I spoke with Nature

I asked her for beauty

For the party we will give

The sun, the moon, the wind

Stars of the firmament

Arrived to adorn

Arrived to adorn

Arrived to adorn


Fishing pond, Farm

Of the Capitão-Mor, Capitão

Fat horse, slaves

A good whip in hand

One day it arrived at the Village

Then it became a city

So great its progress

That the whole world was shaken

That the whole world was shaken


From the beautiful mountain range beside

I make a decorated cake

For us to celebrate

From the chimneys I make the candles

Lighting all of them

I see the sky clear

I see the sky clear

I see the sky clear


The patron saint present

Smiling at our people

A beautiful scene to see

It is the Cruzeiro rising

Opening its arms and conducting


The congratulations to you

The congratulations to you

The congratulations to you


Come Sinhá Dina

And bring Emilia Doceira

Old Carlos Maria

Pesqueira is centenarian

Come to the party

Our pioneers

The literati, the artists

Poets, our values


Come Sinhá Dina

And bring Emilia Doceira
