Menino Rei

King Boy

Menino Rei

The canvas of natureA tela da natureza
Was getting paintedFoi colorindo
With the Sun coloringCom o Sol pintando
The hues of hopeAs cores da esperança

The mist caressingA neblina acariciando
The springtimeA primavera
When the mother kissedQuando a mãe beijava
The little child's faceO rostinho da criança

Out in the backcountry, it's comingLá no sertão, está chegando
King Boy, DivineMenino Rei, Divino
So tiny, King of loveTão pequenino, Rei do amor
Born with the light of dayNasceu com a luz do dia
When Mary kissed the flowerQuando Maria beijou a flor

The waters of the JordanAs águas do Rio Jordão
Washing the banksBanhando as margens
The butterflies landingAs borboletas pousando
On the meadowsMas pradarias

The waterfall pouringA cascata derramando
Into the blue of the hillsNo azul de serra
It was Joseph, who kissedEra José, que beijava
Mother MaryA Mãe Maria

Out in the backcountry, it's comingLá no sertão, está chegando
King Boy, DivineMenino Rei, Divino
So tiny, King of loveTão pequenino, Rei do amor
Born with the light of dayNasceu com a luz do dia
When Mary kissed the flowerQuando Maria beijou a flor

On this day of MaryNesse dia de Maria
In my backcountryNo meu sertão
Beautiful flowers bloomLindas flores desabrocham
In a backyardEm um quintal

It was the Boy JesusEra o Menino Jesus
Who came to EarthQue chegou na Terra
Rested in the mangerRepousou na manjedoura
Of his ChristmasDo seu Natal

Out in the backcountry, it's comingLá no sertão, está chegando
King Boy, DivineMenino Rei, Divino
So tiny, King of loveTão pequenino, Rei do amor
Born with the light of dayNasceu com a luz do dia
When Mary kissed the flowerQuando Maria beijou a flor

Born with the light of dayNasceu com a luz do dia
When Mary kissed the flowerQuando Maria beijou a flor
