Chão Brasileiro Lyrics Translation in English
Selma Reis
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A alma baila em Servilha
The soul dances in Seville
Os lábios sorriem em Brasil
The lips smile in Brazil
O olhar da Andaluzia esconde a saudade
The gaze of Andalusia hides the longing
Que se repartiu
That was divided
Entre os jardins
Between the gardens
E a espada
And the sword
Que nem, sempre guarda
Which, not always, keeps
O dom de ferir
The gift of hurting
Pois muitas vezes
For many times
Quem mata
Who kills
É antes a capa
Is the cape beforehand
Que soube iludir
That knew how to deceive
Luto, rosas, ciganos
Mourning, roses, gypsies
Tudo girando
Everything spinning
Negro e carmim
Black and crimson
A fogueira e o pandeiro
The bonfire and the tambourine
Mil castanholas
A thousand castanets
Tocando assim
Playing like this
Mesmo em chão brasileiro
Even on Brazilian ground
Um mouro chora
A Moor weeps
Dentro de mim, de mim
Inside me, within me
A alma baila em Servilha
The soul dances in Seville
Os lábios sorriem em Brasil
The lips smile in Brazil
O olhar da Andaluzia esconde a saudade
The gaze of Andalusia hides the longing
Que se repartiu
That was divided
Entre os jardins
Between the gardens
E a espada
And the sword
Que nem, sempre guarda
Which, not always, keeps
O dom de ferir
The gift of hurting
Pois muitas vezes
For many times
Quem mata
Who kills
É antes a capa
Is the cape beforehand
Que soube iludir
That knew how to deceive
Luto, rosas, ciganos
Mourning, roses, gypsies
Tudo girando
Everything spinning
Negro e carmim
Black and crimson
A fogueira e o pandeiro
The bonfire and the tambourine
Mil castanholas
A thousand castanets
Tocando assim
Playing like this
Mesmo em chão brasileiro
Even on Brazilian ground
Um mouro chora
A Moor weeps
Dentro de mim, de mim
Inside me, within me
