Aquarela do Brasil
Gilberto Gil
Watercolor of Brazil
Brazil, my Brazilian Brazil
My troublemaking mulatto
I will sing to you in my verses
Brazil, samba that gives
Wobble that makes you sway
The Brazil of my love
Land of our lord
Brazilbrazil
For me, for me
Oh, open the curtain of the past
Take the black mother out of the cerrado
Put the Congo king in the congado
Brazilbrazil
Let the troubadour sing again
In the melancholy light of the Moon
All the song of my love
I want to see this lady walking
Dragging through the halls
Your lace dress
Brazilbrazil
For me, for me
Brazil, good and delicious land
From the sestrous brunette
From an indiscreet look
The green Brazil that gives
For the world to admire
The Brazil of my love
Land of our lord
Brazilbrazil
For me, for me
Oh, this coconut tree that bears coconuts
Hi where do I tie my hammock
On clear moonlit nights
Brazilbrazil
Oh, hi those murmuring fountains
Hi, where do I quench my thirst
And where the Moon comes to play
Hi, this beautiful, dark-skinned Brazil
It's my Brazilian Brazil
Land of samba and tambourine
Brazilbrazil
For me, for me
