La belle de jour [English translation]

Ah hei! Ah hei! Ah hei!

Ah! The beauty of the day!

Ah hei! Ah hei! Ah hei!

I remember the pretty girl

From Boa Viagem Beach

And the girl during the afternoon

Of a blue sunday

Blue, was the beauty of the day

Was the beauty of the afternoon

Your eyes blue like the afternoon

In the afternoon of a blue sunday

The beauty of the day!... (2x)

Beauty of the day!

Oh! Oh!

Beauty of the day!

The beauty of the day

Was the most beautiful girl

Of the whole city

And was right to her

That I wrote

My first blues song...

But the beauty of the day

In the blue she travelled

Your eyes blue like the afternoon

In the afternoon of a blue sunday

The beauty of the day!...

The beauty of the day!...

I remember the pretty girl

From Boa Viagem Beach

And the girl during the afternoon

Of a blue sunday

Blue, was the beauty of the day

Was the beauty of the afternoon

Your eyes blue like the afternoon

In the afternoon of a blue sunday

The beauty of the day!... (2x)

Beauty of the day!

Oh! Oh!

Beauty of the day!

The beauty of the day

Was the most beautiful girl

Of the whole city

And was right to her

That I wrote

My first blues song...

But the beauty of the day

In the blue she travelled

Your eyes blue like the afternoon

In the afternoon of a blue sunday

The beauty of the day!...

Ah hei! Ah hei! Ah hei!

Ah hei! Ah hei! Ah hei!...
