Tá Bonito

Tá bonito, tá ao vivo, tá a cores,

It's beautiful, it's live, it's in color,

Tá lindo, tá tinindo, tá zunindo,

It's lovely, it's sparkling, it's buzzing,

Tá cantando, tá sorrindo,

It's singing, it's smiling,

Com certeza meus amores.

Surely, my loves.

Elegância no andar,

Elegance in the walk,

Que beleza que nobreza,

What beauty, what nobility,

Vejo tudo em seu olhar,

I see everything in your gaze,

Que profunda profecia,

What a profound prophecy,

Proletaria profundeza que riqueza,.

Proletarian depth, what richness.

Na marim dos caetés,

In the marshes of the Caetés,

Água morna banha os pés,

Warm water bathes the feet,

Pele escura vale mais,

Dark skin is worth more,

Que os feldais e seus aneis.

Than the feldspar and its rings.

O sol afinco,

The sun persists,

Poder divino,

Divine power,

É meu destino quase menino.

It's my almost childlike destiny.

Caracamu dos corações dos coroneis,

Caracamu of the hearts of the colonels,

O meu canto vale mais do que dez contos de réis.

My song is worth more than ten thousand reais.

Quem canta chora,

Who sings, cries,

Quem ama tira a mordaça,

Who loves, removes the gag,

Os cães ladram seu destino,

Dogs bark at your destiny,

E a caravana passa.

And the caravan passes.
