Mainha Me Ensinou Lyrics in English Maria Rita
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mainha Me Ensinou by Maria Rita from Portuguese to English.
Ainda me lembro com clareza
I still remember clearly
O que mainha me ensinou
What Mommy taught me
A respeitar a natureza
To respect nature
Pela fartura sobre a mesa
For the abundance on the table
Agradecer ao criador
To thank the creator
Sempre andar num bom caminho
Always walk on a good path
Tirar o espinho de uma flor
To remove a thorn from a flower
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
So as not to live in disarray
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only surrender to a great love
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
So as not to live in disarray
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only surrender to a great love
Ahh, encontrei um amor assim
Ahh, I found a love like this
É tudo o que sonhei para mim
It's everything I dreamed for myself
Num amanhecer (eu e você)
At dawn (me and you)
Quando entardecer (você e eu)
When dusk falls (you and I)
O tempo já passou
Time has already passed
A gente nem notou
We didn't even notice
Anoiteceu
Night fell
E deixa clarear (um anjo bom)
And let it brighten (a good angel)
Chegou para completar (essa paixão)
Arrived to complete (this passion)
Felicidade minha
My happiness
Hoje eu sou mainha
Today I'm Mommy
Mainha tem razão
Mommy is right
Ainda me lembro com clareza
I still remember clearly
O que mainha me ensinou
What Mommy taught me
A respeitar a natureza
To respect nature
Pela fartura sobre a mesa
For the abundance on the table
Agradecer ao criador
To thank the creator
Sempre andar num bom caminho
Always walk on a good path
Tirar o espinho de uma flor
To remove a thorn from a flower
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
So as not to live in disarray
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only surrender to a great love
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
So as not to live in disarray
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only surrender to a great love
Ahh, encontrei um amor assim
Ahh, I found a love like this
É tudo o que sonhei para mim
It's everything I dreamed for myself
Num amanhecer (eu e você)
At dawn (me and you)
Quando entardecer (você e eu)
When dusk falls (you and I)
O tempo já passou
Time has already passed
A gente nem notou
We didn't even notice
Anoiteceu
Night fell
E deixa clarear (que um anjo bom)
And let it brighten (for a good angel)
Chegou para completar (essa paixão)
Arrived to complete (this passion)
Felicidade minha
My happiness
Hoje eu sou mainha
Today I'm Mommy
Mainha tem razão
Mommy is right
Num amanhecer (eu e você)
At dawn (me and you)
Quando entardecer (você e eu)
When dusk falls (you and I)
O tempo já passou
Time has already passed
A gente nem notou

E deixa clarear (que um anjo bom)
And let it brighten (for a good angel)
Chegou para completar (essa paixão)
Arrived to complete (this passion)
Felicidade minha
My happiness
Hoje eu sou mainha
Today I'm Mommy
Mainha tem razão
Mommy is right
Ainda me lembro com clareza
I still remember clearly

Did you like this lyrics translation?
mainha — mommy / mama
Mainha is a very affectionate and regional term for 'mommy' or 'mama', particularly common in the Northeast of Brazil. It's a warm, intimate word that evokes a strong sense of family and childhood.
In the song, Maria Rita sings about what her mainha taught her, and later, how she herself becomes a mainha. This word is central to the song's theme of maternal love, wisdom, and the passing down of values through generations, making it both unique and deeply meaningful.
