Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando a estrela brilhar na cabeleira

When the star shines in the hair

E o galope acordar na beira-mar

And the gallop awakens by the sea

Bem-te-vi e a canção na goiabeira

Great kiskadee and the song in the guava tree

Brisa lua no mato, pra cheirar

Breeze moon in the woods, to smell


No cometa da guitarra baiana

In the comet of the Bahian guitar

Ou nas cor da cauda do pavão

Or in the colors of the peacock's tail

Zanzibar, tuaregues e patufás

Zanzibar, Tuaregs, and Patufás

Andaluzes de Gandhi coração

Andalusians with Gandhi's heart


Tenha fé no azul que está no frevo

Have faith in the blue that is in the frevo

Que o azul é a cor da alegria

For blue is the color of joy

Num cavalo mambembe sem relevo

In a ramshackle horse without relief

No galope de Olinda pra Bahia

In the gallop from Olinda to Bahia


Tenha fé no azul que está no frevo

Have faith in the blue that is in the frevo

Que o azul é a cor da alegria

For blue is the color of joy

Num cavalo mambembe sem relevo

In a ramshackle horse without relief

No galope de Olinda pra Bahia

In the gallop from Olinda to Bahia


Quando a estrela brilhar na cabeleira

When the star shines in the hair

E o galope acordar na beira-mar

Bem-te-vi e a canção na goiabeira

Great kiskadee and the song in the guava tree

Brisa lua no mato, pra cheirar

Breeze moon in the woods, to smell


No cometa da guitarra baiana

Ou nas cor da cauda do pavão
