Um Novo Dia
Vinicius de Moraes
A New Day
A new day is dawning
A new sun is about to rise
It seems like life, breaking into light
And inviting us to love
Oh, my brother, don't despair
Wait for the light to happen
So that life can be reborn in peace
In this new dawn
Bees emerge buzzing, sucking the honey from gentle flowers
Sheep stop on the hill, remembering happy horizons
In the distance, roosters sing in distant intervals of sounds
Pigeons flying, cooing, passing through these skies so blue
Ah, so much color and light!
And the movement keeps growing
Expanding in amplitude
It seems like life pulsating in the air
The beating of a heart
Market cries rise from the square
People start to appear
Who wants to buy on this new day
The joy of living?
