Aquarela do Brasil

Brazil, my Brazilian BrazilBrasil, meu Brasil brasileiro
My troublemaking mulattoMeu mulato inzoneiro
I will sing to you in my versesVou cantar-te nos meus versos
Brazil, samba that givesO Brasil, samba que dá
Wobble that makes you swayBamboleio que faz gingar
The Brazil of my loveO Brasil do meu amor
Land of our lordTerra de nosso senhor
BrazilbrazilBrasil, Brasil
For me, for mePra mim, pra mim

Oh, open the curtain of the pastÔ, abre a cortina do passado
Take the black mother out of the cerradoTira a mãe preta do cerrado
Put the Congo king in the congadoBota o rei congo no congado

Let the troubadour sing againDeixa cantar de novo o trovador
In the melancholy light of the MoonÀ merencória luz da Lua
All the song of my loveToda a canção do meu amor
I want to see this lady walkingQuero ver essa dona caminhando
Dragging through the hallsPelos salões arrastando
Your lace dressO seu vestido rendado

For me, for mePra mim, pra mim

Brazil, good and delicious landBrasil, terra boa e gostosa
From the sestrous brunetteDa morena sestrosa

The green Brazil that givesO Brasil verde que dá

For the world to admirePara o mundo se admirar
The Brazil of my loveO Brasil do meu amor
Land of our lordTerra de nosso senhor

Oh, this coconut tree that bears coconutsÔ, esse coqueiro que dá coco
Hi where do I tie my hammockOi onde amarro minha rede
On clear moonlit nightsNas noites claras de luar

Oh, hi those murmuring fountainsÔ, oi essas fontes murmurantes
Hi, where do I quench my thirstOi onde eu mato a minha sede
And where the Moon comes to playE onde a Lua vem brincar
Hi, this beautiful, dark-skinned BrazilOi, esse Brasil lindo e trigueiro
It's my Brazilian BrazilÉ o meu Brasil brasileiro
Land of samba and tambourineTerra de samba e pandeiro
