É de manhã, vou buscar minha flor
It's morning, I'm going to get my flower
A barra do dia vem
The bar of the day comes
O galo co-co-ro-cô
The rooster goes co-co-ro-co
É de manhã
It's morning
Vou buscar minha flor
I'm going to get my flower
É de manhã, é de madrugada
It's morning, it's early morning
É de manhã
It's morning
Não sei mais de nada, é de manhã
I don't know anything anymore, it's morning
Vou ver meu amor
I'm going to see my love
É de manhã
It's morning
Vou ver minha amada, é de manhã
I'm going to see my beloved, it's morning
Flor da madrugada, é de manhã
Flower of the dawn, it's morning
Vou ver minha flor
I'm going to see my flower
Vou pela estrada
I'm going down the road
E cada estrela é uma flor
And every star is a flower
Mas a flor amada é mais que a madrugada
But the beloved flower is more than the dawn
E foi por ela que o galo co-co-ro-cô
And it was for her that the rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
Que o galo co-co-ro-cô
That the rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo
