Rio Amazonas
Dori Caymmi
Amazon River
In the waters
Of the Amazon River
My heart bathed
In the enchanted depths
On the other side
Iara's voice called
I heard it call
Her song
Crossed the Amazon
On the beak of a thrush
On the wings of the wind
That voice spread
In each palm tree-flag raised in the air
Brazil
In the banana plantation, Brazil
In the Pantanal, Brazil
In the Rio-Mar
There in the backlands, Brazil
On the coast, Brazil
My heart, Brazil
Could hear
A thrush, Brazil
On a Brazilwood tree
That taught me, Brazil
My song!
