Cheiro de Relva Lyrics Translation in English
Chitãozinho & Xororó
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Como é bonito
How beautiful it is
Estender-se no verão
To stretch out in the summer
As cortinas do sertão
The curtains of the backlands
Na varanda das manhãs
On the veranda of the mornings
Deixar entrar
To let in
Pedaços de madrugada
Pieces of dawn
E sobre a colcha azulada
And on the bluish bedspread
Dorme calma, a Lua irmã
Quietly sleeps, the sister Moon
Cheiro de relva
Scent of grass
Traz do campo, a brisa mansa
Brings from the field, the gentle breeze
Que nos faz sentir criança
That makes us feel like children
A embalar milhões de ninhos
Rocking millions of nests
A relva esconde flores lindas, orvalhadas
The grass hides beautiful, dew-covered flowers
Quase sempre abandonadas
Almost always abandoned
Nas encostas dos caminhos
On the slopes of the paths
A juriti madrugadeira da floresta
The early morning dove of the forest
Com seu canto, abre a festa
With its song, starts the celebration
Revoando toda selva
Fluttering across the entire jungle
O rio manso, caudaloso se agita
The calm river, mighty, stirs
Parecendo achar bonita
Seeming to find beautiful
A terra cheia de relva
The land full of grass
O Sol vermelho
The red Sun
Se esquenta e aparece
Warms up and appears
O vergel todo agradece
The entire orchard gives thanks
Pelos ninhos que abrigou
For the nests it sheltered
Botões de ouro
Golden buds
Se desprendem dos seus galhos
Detach from their branches
São as gotas de orvalho
They are dewdrops
De uma noite que passou
From a night that passed
Cheiro de relva
Scent of grass
Traz do campo, a brisa mansa
Brings from the field, the gentle breeze
Que nos faz sentir criança
That makes us feel like children
A embalar milhões de ninhos
Rocking millions of nests
A relva esconde flores lindas, orvalhadas
The grass hides beautiful, dew-covered flowers
Quase sempre abandonadas
Almost always abandoned
Nas encostas dos caminhos
On the slopes of the paths
A juriti madrugadeira da floresta
The early morning dove of the forest
Com seu canto, abre a festa
With its song, starts the celebration
Revoando toda selva
Fluttering across the entire jungle
O rio manso, caudaloso se agita
The calm river, mighty, stirs
Parecendo achar bonita
Seeming to find beautiful
A terra cheia de relva
The land full of grass
O rio manso, caudaloso se agita
The calm river, mighty, stirs
Parecendo achar bonita
Seeming to find beautiful
A terra cheia de relva
The land full of grass
