Happy New Year! Rede Globo’s Campaign: Um Novo Tempo – Lyrics and Translation

Um Novo Tempo (A New Time) is Rede Globo’s song to welcome the New Year. They have been using this song since 1971. Below you will find the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 videos, the lyrics, and translation from Portuguese to English.

Each year Globo creates a new video with a new version of the song. The video is always joyful, of course, and usually features popular actors, journalists, and TV personalities. When I was a kid, I loved watching it and singing along 🙂

Here is the 2013-2014 video:

Lyrics

Um Novo Tempo

Hoje é um novo dia
De um novo tempo que começou
Nesses novos dias
As alegrias, serão de todos
É só querer e
Todos os nossos sonhos
Serão verdade
O futuro, já começou
Hoje a festa é sua
Hoje a festa é nossa
É de quem quiser, quem vier
A festa é sua, hoje a festa é nossa
É de quem quiser

Translation to English:

A new time

Today is a new day
Of a new time that has started
On these new days
Everyone will have joy
All you need to do is want it
And all our dreams
Will come true
The future has already begun
Today the party is yours
Today the party is ours
The party belongs to whoever wants it, whoever comes
The party is yours, the party is ours
The party belongs to whoever wants it
