Lyrics and translation Raízes Caboclas - Amazonas Moreno




Amazonas Moreno
Amazonas Moreno
Amazonas moreno, tuas águas sagradas
Oh my dark-skinned Amazon, your sacred waters flow
São lindas estradas, são contos de fadas
They're like beautiful roads, like fairy tales unfold
Ó meu doce rio
Oh, my sweet river
A canoa que passa
The canoe glides by
O voo da garça
The egret takes to sky
As gaivotas cantando
The seagulls sing their song
Em ti vão deixando
As they float along
O gosto de amar
The taste of love they bring
É o caboclo sonhando
The caboclo dreams
Que entoa remando
He sings as he rows
O seu triste penar
His sorrowful tune
Neste poema de bolhas
In this bubbly poem
Que ressoa nas folhas
That echoes in the trees
Da linda floresta
Of the beautiful forest
Do meu rio mar
My river, my sea
É o caboclo sonhando
The caboclo dreams
Que entoa remando
He sings as he rows
O seu triste penar
His sorrowful tune
Neste caudal tão bonito
In this mighty stream
Que é o desejo infinito
My endless dream
De plantar meu grito
To plant my cry
Nas ondas do mar
In the ocean's sigh
Amazonas moreno
Oh my dark-skinned Amazon
Tuas águas sagradas
Your sacred waters flow
São lindas estradas
They're like beautiful roads
São contos de fadas
Like fairy tales unfold
Ó meu doce rio
Oh, my sweet river
A canoa que passa
The canoe glides by
O voo da garça
The egret takes to sky
As gaivotas cantando
The seagulls sing their song
Em ti vão deixando
As they float along
O gosto de amar
The taste of love they bring
É o caboclo sonhando
The caboclo dreams
Que entoa remando
He sings as he rows
O seu triste penar
His sorrowful tune
Neste poema de bolhas
In this bubbly poem
Que ressoa nas folhas
That echoes in the trees
Da linda floresta
Of the beautiful forest
Do meu rio mar
My river, my sea
É o caboclo sonhando
The caboclo dreams
Que entoa remando
He sings as he rows
O seu triste penar
His sorrowful tune
Neste caudal tão bonito
In this mighty stream
Que é o desejo infinito
My endless dream
De plantar meu grito
To plant my cry
Nas ondas do mar
In the ocean's sigh
