Rio Amazonas
Dori Caymmi
Amazon River
In the waters of the Amazon River
My heart was bathed
In the enchanted background on the other side
Iara's voice called, I heard her calling
His song crossed the Amazon
In the beak of a thrush
On the wings of the wind this voice spread
On every palm tree raised in the air
Brazil
In the banana plantation, Brazil
In the Pantanal, Brazil
In the River-Sea
There in the backlands, Brazil
On the coast, Brazil
My heart, Brazil
Could hear
A thrush, Brazil
On a brazilwood tree
Who taught me, Brazil
My singing
Ah, Brazil
In the banana plantation, Brazil
In the Pantanal, Brazil
In the River-Sea
There in the backlands, Brazil
On the coast, Brazil
My heart, Brazil
Could hear
A thrush, Brazil
On a brazilwood tree
Who taught me, Brazil
My singing
