Full lyrics
Moinhos, moinhos
Moinhos de Holanda
Moinhos das Índias Ocidentais
Moinhos de vento, moinhos de água
Moinhos que sopram a dor dos meus ais
Coqueiros de Olinda
Moinhos de Holanda
Girando nos ventos, chamados terrais
Moinhos de Haia, meus olhos de águia
De longe enxergam os canaviais
Translation
Mills, mills
Mills of Holland
Mills of the West Indies
Windmills, watermills
Mills that blow away the pain of my woes
Coconut trees of Olinda
Mills of Holland
Spinning in the winds, called land breezes
Mills of The Hague, my eagle eyes
From afar, they see the sugarcane fields
