Tardes Morenas de Mato Grosso

With the queen of my destiny I went to see Allah's garden
Where in the colors of dawn the thrushes still sing
Brown afternoons of Mato Grosso, I found the peace of the world there
Beautiful and well-cared trees
Releasing yellow flowers on the sidewalks of Cuiabá

Sad Sunday of farewell, the viola cries over at 'Crispim'
I left beloved Mato Grosso, but for the Goddess I came crying
I wrote her a simple verse, the universe smiled at me
My viola shone in the fields
Because of the fireflies' flocks in the green fields of Coxim

A new radiant dawn happened and I moved on
In Campo Grande, I thought why I want someone else
Another love so sudden sometimes is worth more than a hundred
I treated in such a meticulous way
That beautiful face, lovely gaze of someone who cares

Goodbye Mato Grosso queen, I don't know if it was my good or my bad
I just know that never in my life I met another love like yours
Goodbye, affectionate little cat, sculptural living statue
Goodbye, frank-speaking girl
Who has the grace, purity, and swagger of the white heron of the wetlands!
