Contos da Mata Lyrics Translation in English
Felipe BedettiPortuguese 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
