Aquarela do Brasil

Brasil, meu Brasil Brasileiro Meu mulato inzoneiro Vou cantar-te nos meus versos Ô Brasil, samba que dá Bamboleio, que faz gingar Ô Brasil do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil, Brasil, prá mim, prá mim... Ô abre a cortina do passado Tira a mãe preta do cerrado Bota o rei congo no congado Deixa cantar de novo o trovador A merencória a luz da lua Toda canção do meu amor... Quero ver essa Dona caminhando Pelos salões arrastando O seu vestido rendado Brasil!... Brasil! Prá mim ... Prá mim! Brasil, terra boa e gostosa Da moreninha sestrosa De olhar indiferente Ô Brasil, verde que dá Para o mundo admirá Ô Brasil, do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil,...Brasil! prá mim!... prá mim Esse coqueiro que dá coco Oi onde eu amarro a minha rede Nas noites claras de luar, Brasil... Brasil, Ô oi estas fontes murmurantes Oi onde eu mato a minha sede E onde a lua vem brincar Ôi, esse Brasil lindo e trigueiro É o meu Brasil Brasileiro Terra de samba e pandeiro, Brasil!... Brasil!

Ah, Aquarela do Brasil.

Bela cancao escrita por Zry Barroso em 1939, e' uma das mais famosas cancoes de samba-exaltacao, uma ramificacao de nossa musica. Eu fiz essa traducao acima, mas nao encontrei ninguem que a corrigisse pra mim.

Ah, Aquarela do Brasil.
Beautiful song written by Ary Barroso in 1939, it is one of the most famous songs of the samba-exaltação (Exaltation Samba), one kind of Brazilian music. I did this translation above, but I couldn't find nobody to correct to me.

Pesquisando na internet, eu tive a informacao de que a cancao "Brazil" cantada por Frank Sinatra era "Aquarela do Brasil". Entao, tive a ideia de procurar pela letra de "Brazil" para comparar com minhas tosca traducao de "Aquarela". E o que eu encontrei? Outra letra totalmente diferente da que eu estava procurando. Informacao para memorizar: “Brazil” (S.K. “Bob” Russell) e “Aquarela do Brasil” (Ary Barroso) sao duas cancoes totalmente diferentes.

Researching in the internet, I had the information that the song “Brazil” sung by Frank Sinatra was “Aquarela do Brasil”. So, I had the idea of looking for the lyric of Frank’s Sinatra version to compare with my rough translation. And what did I find? Another lyric totally different from the one I was looking for. One information to memorize: “Brazil” (S.K. “Bob” Russell) and “Aquarela do Brasil” (Ary Barroso) are completely different songs.

Mais tarde eu encontrei a traducao de "Aquarela" feita por Daniela Thompson. Na qual ela faz algumas notas de rodape' como:

After, I found the oficial translation made by Daniela Thompson, which she does a few notes:

Notes:

1. Black Mother: main figure in the Ilê Aiyê fest
2. Congo King: a slave crowned in a traditional fest
3. Congado: feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
4. Bahian woman: metaphor for Black Brazil
5. Salons: metaphor for White Brazil
6. Lacy skirts: traditional costume of Bahian women

Interresante, ne?
