Vem, vamos dançar ao sol
Come, let's dance in the sun
Vem, a banda vai passar
Come, the band is going to pass by
Vem ouvir o toque dos clarins
Come hear the sound of the trumpets
Anunciando o carnaval
Announcing the carnival
E vão brilhando seus metais
And their metals shine bright
Por entre cores mil
Amidst a thousand colors
Verde mar, céu de anil
Sea green, sky of blue
Nunca se viu tanta beleza
Never has so much beauty been seen
Ah, meu Deus, que lindo o meu Brasil!
Ah, my God, how beautiful is my Brazil!
Vem, vamos dançar ao sol
Come, let's dance in the sun
Vem, a banda vai passar
Come, the band is about to pass
Vem ouvir o toque dos clarins
Come hear the sound of the trumpets
Anunciando o carnaval
Announcing the carnival
E vão brilhando seus metais
And their metals are shining
Por entre cores mil
Among a thousand colors
Verde mar, céu de anil
Sea green, sky of blue
Nunca se viu tanta beleza
Never has so much beauty been seen
Ah, meu Deus, que lindo o meu Brasil!
Ah, my God, how beautiful is my Brazil!
Vem, vamos dançar ao sol
Come, let's dance in the sun
Vem, a banda vai passar
Come, the band is about to pass
Vem ouvir o toque dos clarins
Come hear the sound of the trumpets
Anunciando o carnaval

E vão brilhando seus metais
And their metals are shining
Por entre cores mil
Through a thousand colors
Verde mar, céu de anil
