While beleza can mean beauty in some contexts, it’s also a gíria that means “great” or “awesome.” In this fun song by the Carioca band Monobloco, you could roughly translate it as “ain’t it great?” or “isn’t it wonderful?” The lyrics are very simple and straightforward, so have a listen and read along!
Lyrics – Que Beleza
Uh uh uh que beleza
Uh uh uh que beleza
uh uh uh que beleza
uh uh uh que beleza
Que beleza é sentir a natureza,
ter certeza pra onde vai e de onde vem.
Que beleza é linda pureza,
e sem medo destinquir o mau e o bem.
Uh uh uh que beleza
Uh uh uh que beleza
Que beleza é saber seu nome
sua origem, seu passado e seu futuro.
Que beleza conhecer o desencanto
e ver tudo bem mais claro no escuro
Uh uh uh que beleza
Uh uh uh que beleza
Abra a porta e vai entrando
felicidade vai brilhar no mundo
Hello! Thank you very much for your blog! I found it recently and I hope it will be very helpful in learning Portuguese! I wanted to ask, can u recommend some books for literature for beginners? Some fiction would be great, because it is very difficult to find a book to read on a beginner’s level. Thank you.
Charlotte.
polyana:
this is actually a tim maia song 🙂
i love both tim maia and monobloco though!
languageisbroken:
Love it!
Tim Maia was a good dude, but I’m still unclear about the cult undertones in some of his work. Too much drugs?
André:
Charlotte,
I think that you can find it in Brazilian’s Shopping book on internet.
If you have some doubt in portuguese, I will be glad helping you.
I’ve learning english and I think that I need help too.
