Yesterday, one of Brazil’s most famous singers, Caetano Veloso, celebrated a special day: his mom, Dona Canô, turned 101. A mass was held in her honor in her town of Santo Amaro, Bahia, and her eight children, nine grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren helped celebrate.

In honor of Dona Canô’s birthday, we’re going to learn the birthday song, sung to the tune of “Happy Birthday” with the translation:

Parabéns pra você          [Happy birthday to you]
Nesta data querida         [on this special day]
Muitas felicidades          [lots of happiness]
Muitos anos de vida       [many years to live]

[Repeat]
