Rio Acre Lyrics Translation in English
Kelen Pinto MendesPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Metade do ano se põe a subir
Half of the year starts to rise
A outra metade se põe a descer
The other half starts to descend
E conta a história do povo daqui
And tells the story of the people from here
De tão castigado ele tá pra sumir
So punished it's about to disappear
Oxum, não leva embora
Oxum, don't take away
Esse rio que você nos deu
This river that you've given us
Pra chegar, pra plantar, pra colher
To arrive, to plant, to harvest
Pra nadar, pra pescar
To swim, to fish
Oxum, transforma em lendas
Oxum, turns into legends
Encanta a areia e limpa o fundo do rio
Enchants the sand and cleans the riverbed
O rio das curvas, das barranqueiras
The river of curves, of banks
Dos seringais
Of rubber plantations
Oiá trás pros quintais chuva!
Oiá brings rain to the backyards!
