Translation of the song Ô Vida artist Carlinhos Brown

Ô vida, ô vida, ô vida demais

O life, o life, oh, there's so much life

Do Rio à Minas, onde eu vou, ela vai

From Rio to Minas, wherever I go, it goes1

(Ô vida, ô vida, flying high up to the sky

(O life, o life, flying high up to the sky

From Rio to Minas, follow me to paradise)

From Rio to Minas, follow me to paradise)

Ô vida, ô vida, ô vida demais

O life, o life, oh, there's so much life

Do Rio à Brasília, onde eu vou, ela vai

From Rio to Brasília, wherever I go, it goes

(Ô vida, ô vida, flying high up to the sky

(O life, o life, flying high up to the sky

From Rio to Brasília, follow me to paradise)

Ê, ê, ê... ê, ê, á (que beleza)

Eh, eh, eh... eh, eh, ah (what a beauty)

Pela batina do Padre e pelo santo do bando

Through the Father's cassock and through his holy flock

Pela calça arrebentada que o freguês arrebentou

Through the regular's pants, which he broke

Que beleza

What a beauty

Ê, ê, ê -- que beleza! -- ê, ê, á (que beleza)

Eh, eh, eh -- what a beauty! -- eh, eh, ah (what a beauty)
