Seio de Minas [English translation]

I was born in a art barn

in a mineiro's* cradle

I’m from the mountain range's field

where the iron ore rules

I carry with me on my blood

a true gift

of singing melodies from Minas

all over Brazil

(I’m from the gold Mines

from the General mountains

I’m daughter of hills

of royal roads)**

My firs way

I saw sprout from this well

I'm from Mina's breast

in this state, a diamond
