Full lyrics
Ai como é bonito a gente ver
Em plena mata, o amanhecer
Quando amanhece
Até parece que o sertão
Com alegria
Vai despedindo a escuridão
E a passarada
Em revoada, tão contente
Alcança o espaço
Num grande abraço a toda gente
Quando amanhece
O sol aparece em seu esplendor
Secando o orvalho
Faz da campina, imensa flor
Sai o caboclo
Levando ao ombro, o enxadão
Vai pra roça
Donde ele tira o ganha pão
Quando amanhece
Ao despertar de um novo dia
A natureza
Traz para a mata a alegria
E tudo muda
Com a chegada dessa hora
Cantando todos
Em louvor à nova aurora
Translation
Oh, how beautiful it is to see
In the middle of the forest, the dawn
When dawn breaks
It even seems that the sertão
With joy
Is bidding farewell to the darkness
And the flock of birds
In flight, so happy
Reaches the sky
In a big embrace to everyone
When dawn breaks
The sun appears in its splendor
Drying the dew
Makes the field an immense flower
The caboclo comes out
Carrying on his shoulder, the hoe
Goes to the farm
Where he earns his living
When dawn breaks
At the awakening of a new day
Nature
Brings joy to the forest
And everything changes
With the arrival of this hour
Everyone singing
In praise of the new dawn
