Madrugou, madrugou
Woke up, woke up
A mancha branca do sol
The white stain of the sun
Acordou o dia
The day has awakened
E o dia já levantou
And the day has already risen
Acorda, meu amor
Wake up, my love
A usina já tocou
The factory has already rung
Acorda, é hora
Wake up, it's time
De trabalhar, meu amor
To work, my love
Madrugou, madrugou
Woke up, woke up
A mancha branca do sol
The white stain of the sun
Acordou o dia
The day has awoken
E o dia já levantou
And the day has already risen
Acorda, meu amor
Wake up, my love
A usina já tocou
The factory has already sounded
Acorda, é hora
Wake up, it's time
De trabalhar, meu amor
To work, my love
Acorda, é hora
Wake up, it's time
O dia veio roubar
The day came to steal
Teu sono, cansado
Your tired sleep
É hora de trabalhar
It's time to work
O dia te exije
The day demands you
O suor e o braço
The sweat and the arm
Pra usina do dono
For the owner's plant
Do teu cansaço
Of your tiredness
Acorda, meu amor
Wake up, my love
É hora de trabalhar
It's time to work
O dia já raiou
The day has already dawned
É hora de trabalhar
It's time to work
Acorda, meu amor
Wake up, my love
É hora de trabalhar
It's time to work
O dia já raiou
The day has already dawned
É hora de trabalhar
It's time to work
Madrugou, madrugou
Dawned, dawned
A mancha branca do sol
The white stain of the sun
Acordou o dia
Woke up the day
E o dia já levantou
And the day has already risen
Ele sai, ele vai
He steps out, he goes
A usina já tocou
The plant has already rung
Bom dia, bom dia
Good morning, good morning
Até logo, meu amor
See you later, my love
