English Translation

Menina dos olhos castanhos,

Girl with brown eyes,

Que reside lá na serra,

Who resides up in the mountains,

Bem juntinho de deus...

Very close to God...

Tu és a menina dos meus olhos,

You are the apple of my eyes,

Estou cego de saudade

I am blinded by longing

Pelos olhos seus.

For your eyes.


A serra não precisa de luar,

The mountains don't need moonlight,

É iluminada pela luz do teu olhar,

It's illuminated by the light of your gaze,

Até o próprio sol resolveu não brilhar

Even the sun itself decided not to shine

Pra não perder (pra quem?) pro teu olhar!

Not to lose (to whom?) to your gaze!


Teus olhos abusaram do clarão

Your eyes abused the brightness

Parecem fogos dominando a multidão

They seem like fireworks dominating the crowd,

Um rasgo de luz teu olhar produziu

A streak of light your gaze produced,

Foi o olhar (de quem?) do meu brasil

It was the gaze (of whom?) of my Brazil.
