Tributo Ao Sorriso Lyrics in English Roupa Nova
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tributo Ao Sorriso by Roupa Nova from Portuguese to English.
Rio que mora no mar
Rio that lives in the sea
Sorrio pro meu Rio
I smile for my Rio
Que tem no seu mar
That has in its sea
Lindas flores que nascem morenas
Beautiful flowers that are born dark-skinned
Em jardins de sol
In sunny gardens
Rio, serras de veludo
Rio, velvet mountains
Sorrio pro meu Rio
I smile for my Rio
Que sorri de tudo
That smiles at everything
Que é dourado quase todo dia
That is golden almost every day
E alegre como a luz
And happy like the light
Rio é mar, eterno se fazer amar
Rio is sea, eternally making itself loved
O meu Rio é lua
My Rio is moon
Amiga branca e nua
White and naked friend
É sol, é sal, é sul
It's sun, it's salt, it's south
São mãos se descobrindo em todo azul
They are hands discovering themselves in all blue
Por isso é que meu Rio da mulher beleza
That's why my Rio of woman's beauty
Acaba num instante com qualquer tristeza
Ends in an instant with any sadness
Meu Rio que não dorme porque não se cansa
My Rio that doesn't sleep because it doesn't get tired
Meu Rio que balança
My Rio that sways
Sou Rio, sorrio
I am Rio, I smile
Sou Rio, sorrio
I am Rio, I smile
Sou Rio, sorrio
I am Rio, I smile
Sou Rio, sorrio
I am Rio, I smile
Sou Rio, sorrio
I am Rio, I smile

Veludo translates to "velvet". It's a luxurious and tactile word that evokes a sense of softness and richness.
In the song, the lyrics describe "serras de veludo" (velvet mountains). This beautiful imagery personifies the mountains, giving them a smooth, gentle quality, and adds a poetic touch to the description of Rio.
