Translation of the song lyrics Opachorô - Gilberto Gil

Opachorô (original)

Oxalá Deus queira
Oxalá tomara
Haja uma maneira
Deste meu Brasil melhorar
Santa Clara queira
Queira Santa Clara
Falte uma besteira
Pr’este céu de anil clarear
Oxalá paz
Opachorô
Haja bem mais
Opachorô
Oxalá nós
Opachorô
De Todos os Santos
E da Guanabara
Tantos mares, tantos
Que as baías possam guardar
Todos os encantos
Tanta coisa rara
Pra enxugar os prantos
Santa Clara clareia o sol
Clarão do Sol

Opachorô (translation)

I hope God willing
I hope
let there be a way
From my Brazil to improve
Santa Clara want
want Santa Clara
Miss a bullshit
For this indigo sky to lighten
I hope peace
opachoro
there is much more
opachoro
I hope we
opachoro
Of All the Saints
E from Guanabara
So many seas, so many
That the bays can keep
All the charms
so much rare
To dry the tears
Santa Clara brightens the sun
Sunshine
