Translation

Quanta gente tanta

So many people so

De pioneira coragem

Of pioneering courage

Que te buscou, "Terra Santa"

Who sought you, "Holy Land"

Com festa e dor na bagagem

With celebration and pain in their baggage


Quem foi que expulsou o índio

Who expelled the indigenous

Quem lutou com o Paraguai

Who fought with Paraguay

Quem derrubou a mata

Who brought down the forest

Quem cultivou cultivar

Who cultivated to cultivate


Quem ganhou um latifúndio

Who gained a large estate

Quem veio pra trabalhar

Who came to work

Viu tanto trecho de Campo Grande

Saw so much of Campo Grande

Grande de adimirar

Great to admire


Quem não te viu Bonito

Who hasn't seen you, Bonito

As águas claras de um rio

The clear waters of a river

Um peixe, um tucano, uma onça

A fish, a toucan, a jaguar

Tatu onde é que tu tá

Armadillo, where are you


Tanta gente, quanta

So many people, so many

Hoje sorri no teu colo

Today smile in your lap

Nem sabe da história tanta

Don't even know so much history

Vivida neste teu solo

Lived in your soil
