Serra da Boa Esperança [English translation]

Mountain of Good Hope, hope that settles

In the heart of Brazil a handful of land

In the heart of who goes, in the heart of who goes

Mountain of Good Hope my last love

I depart leaving longings, longings leaving

Withered fallen on the mountain there close to God

Oh my mountain now's the time of farewell I'm going away

I'm leaving the light of the glance in your moonlight

Good-bye

(Instrumental)

In my song I carry the memory of the mountain

I know Jesus doesn't punish the poet who errs

We poets once were, because we rhyme well

Our eyes in the eyes of someone who's not coming

Mountain of Good Hope, do not be afraid

I will keep your image by the grace of God

Oh my mountain now's the time of farewell I'm going away

I'm leaving the light of the glance in your moonshine

Good-bye
