São três horas da tarde, é domingo
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, it's Sunday
Da janela a cidade se ilumina
From the window, the city lights up
Como nunca jamais se iluminou
Like it never has before
São três horas da tarde, é domingo
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, it's Sunday
Na cidade, no Cristo Redentor, ê, ê
In the city, at Christ the Redeemer, eh, eh
É domingo no trolley que passa
It's Sunday on the trolley that passes by
É domingo na moça e na praça
It's Sunday with the girl in the square
É domingo, ê, ê, domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, eh, eh, it's Sunday, my love
Hoje é dia de feira, é domingo
Today is market day, it's Sunday
Quanto custa hoje em dia o feijão
How much does the beans cost nowadays?
São três horas da tarde, é domingo
It's three in the afternoon, it's Sunday
Em Ipanema e no meu coração, ê, ê
In Ipanema and in my heart, eh, eh
É domingo no Vietnã
It's Sunday in Vietnam
Na Austrália, em Itapuã
In Australia, in Itapuã
É domingo, ê, ê, domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, eh, eh, it's Sunday, my love
Quem tiver coração mais aflito
Whoever has a more troubled heart
Quem quiser encontrar seu amor
Whoever wants to find their love
Dê uma volta na praça do Lido
Take a stroll in Lido square
O-skindô, o-skindô, o-skindô-lelê
O-skindô, o-skindô, o-skindô-lelê
Quem quiser procurar residência
Whoever wants to look for a home
Quem está noivo e já pensa em casar
Who's engaged and already dreaming of wedlock
Pode olhar o jornal paciência
Can check the paper, just be patient
Tra-lá-lá, tra-lá-lá, ê, ê
Tra-lá-lá, tra-lá-lá, eh, eh
O jornal de manhã chega cedo
The morning paper arrives early
Mas não traz o que eu quero saber
But it doesn’t bring what I want to know
As notícias que leio conheço
The news I read, I'm already familiar with
Já sabia antes mesmo de ler, ê, ê
I knew it even before reading, eh, eh
Qual o filme que você quer ver
Which movie do you want to see
Que saudade, preciso esquecer
What a longing, I need to forget
É domingo, ê, ê, domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, eh, eh, it's Sunday, my love
Olha a rua, meu bem, meu benzinho
Look at the street, my dear, my darling
Tanta gente que vai e que vem
So many people coming and going
São três horas da tarde, é domingo
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, it's Sunday
Vamos dar um passeio também, ê, ê
Let's take a walk too, eh, eh
O bondinho viaja tão lento
The little tram moves so slowly
Olha o tempo passando, olha o tempo
Look at the time passing, look at the time
É domingo, outra vez domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, once again it's Sunday, my love
É domingo, outra vez domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, once again it's Sunday, my love
É domingo, outra vez domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, once again it's Sunday, my love
É domingo, outra vez domingou, meu amor
It's Sunday, once again it's Sunday, my love
