É de manhã, vem o sol
It's morning, the sun comes
Mas os pingos da chuva que ontem caiu
But the droplets of rain that fell yesterday
Ainda estão a brilhar
Are still shining
Ainda estão a dançar
Are still dancing
Ao vento alegre que me traz esta canção
To the cheerful wind that brings me this song
Quero que você me dê a mão
I want you to take my hand
Vamos sair por aí sem pensar
Let's go out without a care
No que foi que sonhei
About what I dreamed
Que chorei, que sofri
That I cried, that I suffered
Pois a nossa manhã
For our morning
Já me fez esquecer
You've already made me forget
Me dê a mão vamos sair
Take my hand, let's go out
Pra ver o sol
To see the sun
