Canção do mar [English translation]

I sailed on my boat to dance,

far away, on the cruel sea

and the roaring waves 1

said that I came to steal the unmatched light

of your so beautiful glance.

You sailed so far away over the sea

you discovered a world to dream.

My Brazil,

your song, your colour

and so many beautiful things…

I wanted you for me, I wanted you to be happy,

I wanted you like this, forever.

My Brazil, I miss you,

my Brazil, I want to see you.

Your dance, your glance

make me dream,

make me love life.

I take your hand, just like a brother.

Brazil, beloved land.

1. Literally: “sea”.
