Canto de Rainha
Fundo de Quintal
Queen's Song
Trying to forget the bitterness of life
One day I went out and managed to disguise my loneliness
Because I discovered something more than inspiration
When I heard Ivone sing and
Saw all the poetry hovering in the air
Her singing entered my life
And did as it pleased
Today I can even affirm
Samba is my root
Those born to dream and sing and
Have a child's smile
Can cradle in each
Song a hope
I discovered what it is to live
And it's not a dream to see a background
Of so much evil disappear
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Look how the flower lights up
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Tiê tiê look there oxa
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Believe believe I don't
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Look how the flower lights up
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Tiê tiê look there oxa
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
Freedom, freedom
If the whole world listens
Ivone singing at dawn
