Aquarela Do Brazil Lyrics in English Gal Costa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aquarela Do Brazil by Gal Costa from Portuguese to English.
Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro
Brazil, my Brazilian Brazil
Meu mulato inzoneiro
My playful mulatto
Vou cantar-te nos meus versos
I will sing about you in my verses
O Brasil, samba que dá
Brazil, samba that gives
Bamboleio que faz gingar
Swing that makes one sway
O Brasil do meu amor
The Brazil of my love
Terra de Nosso Senhor
Land of Our Lord
Brasil pra mim
Brazil for me
Pra mim, pra mim
For me, for me
Abre a cortina do passado
Open the curtain of the past
Tira a mãe preta do cerrado
Take the black mother from the cerrado
Bota o rei congo no congado
Put the Congo king in the congado
Brasil, pra mim
Brazil, for me
Deixa cantar de novo o trovador
Let the troubadour sing again
A merencória luz da lua
The melancholic moonlight
Toda canção do meu amor
Every song of my love
Quero ver essa dona caminhando
I want to see that lady walking
Pelos salões arrastando
Through the halls dragging
O seu vestido rendado
Her lace dress
Brasil pra mim
Brazil for me
Pra mim, pra mim!
For me, for me!
Brasil, terra boa e gostosa
Brazil, good and tasty land
Da morena sestrosa
Of the charming brunette
De olhar indiscreto
With indiscreet gaze
O Brasil samba que dá

Bamboleio que faz gingar

Terra de Nosso Senhor
Land of Our Lord
Brasil pra mim
Brazil for me
Pra mim, pra mim!
For me, for me!
esse coqueiro que dá coco
That coconut tree that bears coconuts
Onde eu amarro a minha rede
Where I tie my hammock
Nas noites claras de luar
On clear moonlit nights
Brasil pra mim
Brazil for me
Ouve estas fontes murmurantes
Listen to these murmuring fountains
Aonde eu mato a minha sede
Where I quench my thirst
E onde a lua vem brincar
And where the moon comes to play
Esse Brasil lindo e trigueiro
This beautiful and tanned Brazil
É o meu Brasil brasileiro
Is my Brazilian Brazil
Terra de samba e pandeiro
Land of samba and tambourine
Brasil pra mim, pra mim, Brasil!
Brazil for me, for me, Brazil!
Brasil pra mim, pra mim, Brasil, Brasil!
