Translation of the song lyrics Canta Brasil - Gal Costa

Canta Brasil (original)

Canta Brasil
As selvas te deram nas noites teus ritmos barbaros
E os negros trouxeram de longe reservas de pranto
Os brancos falaram de amor em suas cances
E desta mistura de vozes nasceu o teu canto
Brasil, minha voz enternecida
Ja dourou os teus brases
Na expressao mais comovida
Das mais ardentes cances
Tambm a beleza desse cu
Onde o azul mais 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 turbilhao
Entre selvas e rojao
Continente a caminhar
No cu, no mar, na terra
Canta Brasil!

(translation)

sing Brazil
The jungles gave you your barbaric rhythms in the nights
And the blacks brought from far away reserves of tears
The whites spoke of love in their songs
And from this mix of voices your singing was born
Brazil, my tender voice
You have already gilded your coals
In the most moved expression
Of the hottest songs
Also the beauty of this ass
Where the bluest blue
In watercolor from Brazil
I sang from the north to the south
But now your singing
My Brazil I want to hear
In the sertaneja's prayers
In the waves of the river-sea
Oh, this river swirls
Between jungles and rojao
Continent walking
In the sky, in the sea, on the land
Sing Brazil!
