Full lyrics
Tambaú
Linda praia do norte
Onde o céu e o mar se encontram
Tambaú, coqueirais
Tambaú como estás?
Tambaú
Era verde e calmo o mar
Bem mais branco o luar
Foi a praia mesmo mais linda
Para os meus olhos mortais
E até parece que ainda
Numa visão que é infinda
Estou vendo os seus coqueirais
Translation
Tambaú
Beautiful northern beach
Where the sky and the sea meet
Tambaú, coconut groves
Tambaú, how are you?
Tambaú
The sea was green and calm
The moonlight much whiter
It was truly the most beautiful beach
For my mortal eyes
And it even seems that still
In an endless vision
I am seeing its coconut groves
