Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Luz Do Sol by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Que a folha traga e traduz
That the leaf brings and translates
Em verde novo
Into new green
Em folha, em graça, em vida, em força, em luz
In leaf, in grace, in life, in strength, in light
Céu azul que vem
Blue sky that comes
Até onde os pés tocam a terra
Until where the feet touch the earth
E a terra inspira e exala seus azuis
And the earth inspires and exhales its blues
Reza, reza o rio
Prays, prays the river
Córrego pro rio e o rio pro mar
Stream to the river and the river to the sea
Reza a correnteza, roça a beira, doura a areia
The current prays, brushes the edge, gilds the sand
Marcha o homem sobre o chão
Man marches on the ground
Leva no coração uma ferida acesa
Carries in the heart a burning wound
Dono do sim e do não
Owner of the yes and the no
Diante da visão da infinita beleza
Facing the vision of infinite beauty
Finda por ferir com a mão essa delicadeza
Ends up hurting with the hand this delicacy
A coisa mais querida, a glória da vida
The dearest thing, the glory of life
Que a folha traga e traduz
That the leaf brings and translates
Em verde novo
Into new green
Em folha, em graça, em vida, em força, em luz
In leaf, in grace, in life, in strength, in light
