Presente de um Beija-flor
MPB-4
Gift from a Hummingbird
The Hummingbird that brought my love
Flew away
Look how beautiful my love is
I am happy now
Just look at the white mist coming from behind the bamboo grove
Does it do me good or does it harm me
I will surf in the crazy clouded blue sky
Of the capital of my country
To see if I forget about the poverty and violence
That makes my people unhappy
The Hummingbird that brought my love
Flew away
Look how beautiful my love is
I am happy now
And the girl who one day by chance came to tell me
That she didn't like boys so careless
Who play reggae and mpb
But that's such a trivial thing
Compared to the beauty of the Central Plateau
And the people who make the savannah
An almost ideal habitat
The Hummingbird that brought my love
Flew away
Look how beautiful my love is
I am happy now
End of the year, I'm leaving Brasília
To go see the sea
But tell mom, around the end of February
That's when I'll be back
To surf in the crazy clouded blue sky
Of the capital of my country
To see if I forget about the poverty and violence
That makes my people unhappy
The Hummingbird that brought my love
Flew away
Look how beautiful my love is
I am happy now
