Branca flor do cafezal!

Era a florada

It was the flowering

Lindo véu de branca renda

Beautiful veil of white lace

Se estendeu sobre a fazenda

Spread over the farm

Qual um manto nupcial!

Like a bridal mantle!

E de mâos dadas

And hand in hand

Fomos juntos pela estrada

We walked together down the road

Toda branca e perfumada

Pela flor do cafezal.

Meu cafezal em flor...

My coffee plantation in bloom...

Passa-se a noite

The night passes

Vem o sol ardente e bruto

The scorching and brutal sun comes

Morre a flor e nasce o fruto

The flower dies, and the fruit is born

No lugar de cada flor;

In the place of each flower;

Passa-se o tempo

Time passes

Em que a vida é todo encanto

When life is all enchantment

Morre o amor e nasce o pranto

Love dies, and tears are born

Fruto amargo de uma dor.

Bitter fruit of a pain.
