Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu não me lembro se existe uma cidade igual a brejo do cruz

I don't remember if there is a town like Brejo do Cruz

Um lugarejo concebido, esquecido, terra cheia de luz

A conceived, forgotten hamlet, land full of light

É no sopé de uma barreira de ouro e prata, que me reluz

At the foot of a barrier of gold and silver, shining for me

A juventude avançada usa roupa costurada a cipó

The advanced youth wears clothes sewn with vines

O candeeiro costumeiro é a luz que ilumina melhor

The customary lantern is the light that illuminates better

O eldorado soterrado na poeira nessa aldeia de sol

The buried El Dorado in the dust in this village of sun

Não vejo a hora de dizer

I can't wait to say

Que na pedra lascada

That on the chipped stone

Meu tataravô, foi homem da caverna

My great-great-grandfather was a cave man

Do brejo, do porão

From the swamp, from the cellar

E hoje eu vejo o brejo, velho credo, costurando botão

And today I see the swamp, old creed, sewing a button
