Aquarela do Brasil / Nega do Cabelo Duro [Medley] [English translation]

[Aquarelle of Brazil]

Oh, hear the whispers from these fountains

To where I come quench my thirst

and the moonlight comes to toy every night

Ah, this Brazil, beautiful and swarthy,

is my Brazil, genuinely Brazilian.

The land of samba and tambourine

Brazil, for me, Brazil

Brazil, for me...

Black girl with wiry hair,

Which comb can comb your hair?

Which comb can comb your hair?

Which comb can comb your hair?, oh girl...

Your hairstyle is in vogue

Your hips move coquettishly

My black girl, my love

Which comb can comb your hair?, oh girl...
