Full lyrics

Vassouras, Vassouras

Velha cidade dos tempos coloniais

Vassouras, Vassouras

O tempo passa e cada vez te quero mais

Palmeiras ao vento

Dando viva e boa vinda ao passageiro

Fugitivo do calor que tá fazendo

Lá em baixo, lá no Rio de Janeiro

Adeus Leblon, Copacabana e Icaraí

Tô em Vassouras, mas não vou ficar aqui

Ei sobe serra, desce serra

Quanta gente vai subindo, pela montanha

Quem vai pra serra, se desterra

Quem está morto, desenterra

Saúde ganhaPor isso eu vou

Pra Suíça brasileira

Batendo pino, vou até Miguel Pereira

Vassouras, Vassouras. Vassouras, Vassouras

Velha cidade dos tempos coloniais

Vassouras, Vassouras

O tempo passa e cada vez te quero mais

Palmeiras ao vento

Dando viva e boa vinda ao passageiro

Fugitivo do calor que tá fazendo

Lá em baixo, lá no Rio de Janeiro

Adeus Leblon, Copacabana e Icaraí

Tô em Vassouras, mas não vou ficar aqui

Ei sobe serra, desce serra

Quanta gente vai subindo, pela montanha

Quem vai pra serra, se desterra

Quem está morto, desenterra

Saúde ganhaPor isso eu vou

Pra Suíça brasileira

Batendo pino, vou até Miguel Pereira

Vassouras, Vassouras.

Translation

Vassouras, Vassouras

Old city from colonial times

Vassouras, Vassouras

Time passes and each time I want you more

Palms in the wind

Cheering and welcoming the passenger

Fugitive from the heat that's happening

Down below, there in Rio de Janeiro

Goodbye Leblon, Copacabana and Icaraí

I'm in Vassouras, but I won't stay here

Hey, go up the mountain range, go down the mountain range

How many people are going up, through the mountain

Whoever goes to the mountain range, uproots themselves

Whoever is dead, unearths themselves

Health is gained. That's why I'm going

To the Brazilian Switzerland

Eagerly, I'm going all the way to Miguel Pereira

Vassouras, Vassouras. Vassouras, Vassouras

Old city from colonial times

Vassouras, Vassouras

Time passes and each time I want you more

Palms in the wind

Cheering and welcoming the passenger

Fugitive from the heat that's happening

Down below, there in Rio de Janeiro

Goodbye Leblon, Copacabana and Icaraí

I'm in Vassouras, but I won't stay here

Hey, go up the mountain range, go down the mountain range

How many people are going up, through the mountain

Whoever goes to the mountain range, uproots themselves

Whoever is dead, unearths themselves

Health is gained. That's why I'm going

To the Brazilian Switzerland

Eagerly, I'm going all the way to Miguel Pereira

Vassouras, Vassouras.
