Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A merencória luz da lua
Toda canção do seu amor
Quero ver essa dona caminhando
Pelos salões arrastando
O seu vestido rendado
Pra mim, Brasil
Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro
Meu mulato inzoneiro
Vou cantar-te nos meus versos
Que dá
Bamboleio que faz gingar
O Brasil do meu amor
Terra de Nosso Senhor
Brasil, pra mim
Pra mim, Brasil
