Recife Manhã de Sol

I see Recife silvered
In the moonlight that appeared
There's a poem for lovers
In the sky and in the river waters

A serenader, a guitar
Announcing the dawn
A distant bell tolling
Whole Recife will surrender
Ave Maria at the foot of the altar

Bumba-meu-boi, Maracatu
Recife of my carnivals
I no longer see young lady
In the light of a gas lamp

You are the spring of loves
You are the glow of the horizon
The serene dawn is coming
Bringing a delightful poem
Recife sunny morning
