Translation of the song Branca estades e corada artist Christmas Carols
Branca estades e corada
You Are Both White and Red
Do tronco nasceu a rama,
From the log, the branch grew,
Da rama nasceu a fror,
From the branch, the blossom emerged
Da fror nascera a Virgem;
And from the blossom, the Virgin was born;
Da Virgem, o Salvador!
From the Virgin, Our Saviour came!
Qualquer filho de homem pobre
Any son of a poor man
Nasce numa boa cama;
Is born in a good family's bed;
Só tu... Ó, só tu! Ó meu Deus Menino,
Only you... Oh, only you! Oh my Divine Child,
Nasceste numa cabana!
Were born in a hut!
