English Translation

Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil

Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil


Vento, vento zangado

Wind, angry wind

Desmancha os cabelos da velha do lado

Untangles the hair of the old lady next door

Sopra teu longo assovio

Blows your long whistle

E brinca de roda com quem tá parado!

And plays ring-around-the-rosy with whoever is standing still!


Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil

Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil


Vai, arrasta a chuva

Go, drag the rain

Assanha estas nuvens de tempestade

Stir up these stormy clouds

Mas sopra doce o teu sopro

But blow gently your breath

No rosto do moço que fala a verdade

On the face of the young man who speaks the truth


Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil

Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil


Dos anjos, tua luz

From angels, your light

Das bestas sua igualha

From beasts, their likeness

Dos anjos, tua luz

From angels, your light

Das bestas sua igualha

From beasts, their likeness


Vento que venta cantando

Wind that blows while singing

Embala as palmeiras na beira do mar

Swings the palm trees by the seaside

Conta a história das matas

Tells the story of the forests

Do verde das terras do lado de cá

Of the green lands on this side


Assopra e faz ventania

Blows and creates a whirlwind

De noite ou de dia

At night or during the day

Trazendo recados

Bringing messages

Vento que varre os sertões

Wind that sweeps through the hinterlands

Levando notícias

Carrying news

Não fica calado

Doesn't stay silent


Dos anjos, tua luz

From angels, your light

Das bestas sua igualha

From beasts, their likeness

Dos anjos, tua luz

From angels, your light

Das bestas sua igualha

From beasts, their likeness


Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil

Lá vai o vento, Brasil adentro

There goes the wind, deep into Brazil
