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
