Canta Brasil

Sing, Brazil

Canta Brasil

The jungles gave you, in the night, your barbaric rhythmsAs selvas te deram nas noites teus ritmos bárbaros
And the blacks brought from afar reserves of mourningE os negros trouxeram de longe reservas de pranto
The whites spoke of love in their songsOs brancos falaram de amor em suas canções
And from this mixture of voices your song was bornE dessa mistura de vozes nasceu o teu canto

Brazil, my tender voiceBrasil, minha voz enternecida
Has already gilded your coats of armsJá dourou os teus brasões
In the most moved expressionNa expressão mais comovida
Of the most ardent songsDas mais ardentes canções

Also, in the beauty of this skyTambém, na beleza deste céu
Where the blue is bluerOnde o azul é mais azul
In the watercolor of BrazilNa aquarela do Brasil
I sang from north to southEu cantei de norte a sul

But now your singingMas agora o teu cantar
My Brazil, I want to hearMeu Brasil, quero escutar
In the prayers of the countrywomanNas preces da sertaneja
In the waves of the river-seaNas ondas do rio-mar

Oh! This whirlpool riverOh! Esse rio turbilhão
Between jungles and fireworksEntre selvas e rojão
Walking continentContinente a caminhar
In the sky, in the sea, on landNo céu, no mar, na terra
Sing, Brazil!Canta, Brasil!
