Nilson ValentimPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Ouvi falar de São Thomé
Heard about São Thomé
Tinha que ver pra crer
Had to see to believe
Ao Sul de Minas viajei
To the South of Minas, I traveled
Bela cidade encontrei
Found a beautiful city
Com suas lendas e mistérios me encantei
With its legends and mysteries, I was enchanted
Mas quem será?
But who will be?
Quem será que descobriu?
Who will be the one who discovered?
Foi o escravo ou índio?
Was it the slave or the Indian?
Esta linda estância do Brasil
This beautiful retreat in Brazil
Tem chá de cogumelo
There's mushroom tea
Pinga com mel
Cachaça with honey
Vai o Sol e vem a Lua
The Sun goes, and the Moon comes
Delirando eu vou ao céu
Deliriously, I go to heaven
Véu das noivas
Veil of brides
Em lindas cachoeiras me banhei
I bathed in beautiful waterfalls
No vale das borboletas
In the valley of butterflies
Na gruta da matriz eu meditei
In the cave of the church, I meditated
Me apaixonei
I fell in love
Com as ninfas e as bruxas a dançar
With nymphs and witches dancing
No rock e reggae alucinante
In the thrilling rock and reggae
Santa Bárbara a cantar
Santa Bárbara singing
Arrebenta bateria
Battery bursts
Neste palco de ilusão
In this stage of illusion
O ET no Anhembi, faz o povo sacudir
The ET in Anhembi makes the people shake
Numa explosão de emoção
In an explosion of emotion
