Lyrics
Vejam essa maravilha de cenário
É um episódio relicário
Que o artista num sonho genial
Escolheu para este carnaval
E o asfalto como passarela
Será a tela do Brasil em forma de aquarela
Passeando pelas cercanias do Amazonas
Conheci vastos seringais
No Pará, a ilha de Marajó
E a velha cabana do Timbó
Caminhando ainda um pouco mais
Deparei com lindo coqueirais
Estava no Ceará, terra de Irapuã
De Iracema e Tupã
E fiquei radiante de alegria
Quando cheguei na Bahia
Bahia de Castro Alves, do acarajé
Das noites de magia, do candomblé
Depois de atravessar as matas do Ipú
Assisti em Pernambuco
A festa do frevo e do maracatu
Brasília tem o seu destaque
Na arte, na beleza, arquitetura
Feitiço de garoa pela serra
São Paulo engrandece a nossa terra
Do leste, por todo centro-oeste
Tudo é belo e tem lindo matiz
O Rio de Sambas e Batucadas
De malandros e mulatas
De requebros febris
Brasil, essas nossas verdes matas
Cachoeiras e cascatas
De colorido sutil
E este lindo céu azul de anil
Emolduram em aquarela o meu Brasil
Lyrics translation
Look at this wonder of scenery
It's a relic episode
That the artist in a genius dream
Chose for this carnival
And the asphalt as a walkway
It will be the canvas of Brazil in the form of watercolor
Walking around the Amazon
I met vast syringes
In Pará, the island of Marajó
And the old Timbo Hut
Walking even a little longer
I came across beautiful coconut trees
It was in Ceará, the Land of Irapuan
Of Iracema is nerve
And I was radiant with joy
When I arrived in Bahia
Bahia de Castro Alves, do acarajé
The nights of magic, the candomblé
After crossing the woods of IPU
I watched in Pernambuco
The feast of frevo and maracatu
Brasilia has its highlight
In art, in beauty, architecture
Drizzle spell by the saw
Saint Paul magnifies our land
From the East, all over the Midwest
Everything is beautiful and has beautiful hue
The river of Sambas and Batucadas
Of rascals and mulatto
Of febrile cottage cheese
Brazil, these green forests of ours
Waterfalls and waterfalls
Of subtle color
And this beautiful blue sky of anil
Framed in watercolor my Brazil
