I know this song in Portuguese. I grew up in NorthEast Brasil and most likely one of the missionaries translated it into Portuguese! It is a great song to make an instant choir! We had a Reunion in the summer of 2000 in Brasil for the high school that I attended, and singing this song together one evening brought back delightful memories!! ... and we sounded really good, of course! ;o) ---------------

Here are the words in Portuguese as I can remember them... they may closely resemble a Spanish version, as the two languages are very close!

Violin: O violino soando tao suave, parece assim que deseja cantar (repeat)

Clarinet: A clarineta, a clarineta vai du du - du du - du du - du du de' (repeat)

Trumpet: A trombeta prateada, vai ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta!! (Repeat)

Timpani (Kettle drums): O timpano toca sempre dois tons, E'este ou este, sao sempre dois tons.

Tuba: A Tromba soa, solenimente, solenimente, trompe a soar.
