Canta Brasil - Gal Costa

Canta Brasil

As selvas te deram nas noites teus ritmos barbaros

E os negros trouxeram de longe reservas de pranto

Os brancos falaram de amor em suas cances

E desta mistura de vozes nasceu o teu canto

Brasil, minha voz enternecida

Ja dourou os teus brases

Na expressao mais comovida

Das mais ardentes cances

Tambm a beleza desse cu

Onde o azul mais azul

Na aquarela do Brasil

Eu cantei de norte a sul

Mas agora o teu cantar

Meu Brasil quero escutar

Nas preces da sertaneja

Nas ondas do rio-mar

Oh, esse rio turbilhao

Entre selvas e rojao

Continente a caminhar

No cu, no mar, na terra

Canta Brasil!

sing Brazil

The jungles gave you your barbaric rhythms in the nights

And the blacks brought from far away reserves of tears

The whites spoke of love in their songs

And from this mix of voices your singing was born

Brazil, my tender voice

You have already gilded your coals

In the most moved expression

Of the hottest songs

Also the beauty of this ass

Where the bluest blue

In watercolor from Brazil

I sang from the north to the south

But now your singing

My Brazil I want to hear

In the sertaneja's prayers

In the waves of the river-sea

Oh, this river swirls

Between jungles and rojao

Continent walking

In the sky, in the sea, on the land

Sing Brazil!
