Aquarela do Brasil

Gilberto Gil 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
