Lyrics
As selvas te deram nas noites teus ritmos bárbaros
E os negros trouxeram de longe reservas de pranto
Os brancos falaram de amor em suas canções
E dessa mistura de vozes nasceu o teu canto
Brasil, minha voz enternecida
Jáadorou os seus brasões
Na expressão mais comovida
Das mais ardentes canções
Também na beleza desse céu
Onde o azul émais 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 turbilhão
Entre selvas de rojão
Continente a caminhar
No céu, no mar, na terra
Canta Brasil
No céu, no mar, na terra
Canta Brasil
No céu, no mar, na terra
Canta Brasil
No céu, no mar, na terra
Canta Brasil
Lyrics translation
The jungles gave you in the nights your barbaric rhythms
And the blacks brought from afar reserves of weeping
The Whites spoke of love in their songs
And from this mix of voices your singing was born
Brazil, my tender voice
You've already worn your coats of arms.
In the most moved expression
Of the most ardent songs
Also in the beauty of this sky
Where Blue is bluer
In the watercolor of Brazil
I sang from North to South
But now your singing
My Brazil, I want to listen
In the prayers of the hinterland
On the waves of the river-sea
Oh, that whirlwind River
Among jungles of Redwood
Continent walking
In the sky, in the sea, in the Earth
Sing Brazil
In the sky, in the sea, in the Earth
Sing Brazil
In the sky, in the sea, in the Earth
Sing Brazil
In the sky, in the sea, in the Earth
Sing Brazil
