Menino Rei Lyrics Translation in English
Dona Zefinha
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A tela da natureza
The canvas of nature
Foi colorindo
Was coloring
Com o Sol pintando
With the Sun painting
As cores da esperança
The colors of hope
A neblina acariciando
The mist caressing
A primavera
The spring
Quando a mãe beijava
When the mother kissed
O rostinho da criança
The little face of the child
Lá no sertão, está chegando
There in the hinterland, is coming
Menino Rei, Divino
Child King, Divine
Tão pequenino, Rei do amor
So tiny, King of love
Nasceu com a luz do dia
He was born with the light of day
Quando Maria beijou a flor
When Mary kissed the flower
As águas do Rio Jordão
The waters of the Jordan River
Banhando as margens
Bathing the shores
As borboletas pousando
Butterflies landing
Mas pradarias
In meadows
A cascata derramando
The waterfall pouring
No azul de serra
In the blue of the mountains
Era José, que beijava
It was Joseph, who kissed
A Mãe Maria
Mother Mary
Lá no sertão, está chegando
There in the hinterland, is coming
Menino Rei, Divino
Child King, Divine
Tão pequenino, Rei do amor
So tiny, King of love
Nasceu com a luz do dia
He was born with the light of day
Quando Maria beijou a flor
When Mary kissed the flower
Nesse dia de Maria
On this day of Mary
No meu sertão
In my hinterland
Lindas flores desabrocham
Beautiful flowers blossom
Em um quintal
In a backyard
Era o Menino Jesus
It was the Baby Jesus
Que chegou na Terra
Who arrived on Earth
Repousou na manjedoura
Resting in the manger
Do seu Natal
Of his Christmas
Lá no sertão, está chegando
There in the hinterland, is coming
Menino Rei, Divino
Child King, Divine
Tão pequenino, Rei do amor
So tiny, King of love
Nasceu com a luz do dia
He was born with the light of day
Quando Maria beijou a flor
When Mary kissed the flower
Nasceu com a luz do dia
He was born with the light of day
Quando Maria beijou a flor
When Mary kissed the flower
