Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A cachoeira molha a mata

The waterfall wets the forest

Que fica a beira do riacho

Which stands by the stream

E a cigarra faz serenata

And the cicada serenades

Sapo salta rio abaixo

Frog jumps downstream


Na madrugada o sereno

In the early morning, the dew

Encharca a relva de orvalho

Soaks the grass with dewdrops

E o tiziu tão pequeno

And the tiny tanager

Vai pulando galho em galho

Leaps from branch to branch


Raia o sol da manhã

The morning sun rises

E doura as folhas da palmeira

And gilds the leaves of the palm tree

Juruti toda faceira

Juruti all cheerful

Faz seu balé com a sabia

Dances with the thrush


O mato canta seus encantos

The forest sings its enchantments

E seus mistérios e quebrantos

And its mysteries and troubles

Esconde cantos maravilhados

Hides marveling songs

E os seres encantados

And the enchanted beings


Passarada revoada

Flock of birds in flight

Sensações de sons e cores

Sensations of sounds and colors

O doce aroma das flores

The sweet aroma of flowers

E o canto da sabiá

And the song of the thrush
