Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sala, quarto e cozinha, escura de fumaceiro

Living room, bedroom, and kitchen, dark with smoke

Onde se usava um candeeiro pra não ficar no escuro

Where a lantern was used so as not to stay in the dark

Ranchito muito seguro, feito de madeiras grossa

A very secure ranch, made of thick wood

Ali no fundo da roça, sinto saudade, te juro

There in the back of the field, I miss it, I swear


Foi ali que eu nasci e passei a minha infância

It was there that I was born and spent my childhood

Velhos tempos de criança que eu brincava com os tição

Old times of childhood when I played with the logs

Num velho fogo de chão com lenha de puro cerno

In an old ground fire with pure hornbeam wood

Que se usava no inverno pra aquecer o coração

That was used in winter to warm the heart


Ah! Ranchito, ainda me lembro tua sala de chão duro!

Ah! Little ranch, I still remember your hard floor room!

Se dançava no escuro com um candeeiro de graxa

We danced in the dark with a grease lamp

Indiada se escarrapacha num vanerão bem largado

Folks sprawled in a wide open vanerão

Mas não era convidado se não fosse de bombacha

But you weren't invited if you weren't wearing bombacha


Meu ranchito, não te esqueço nem que faça uma promessa

My little ranch, I don't forget you even if I make a promise

Me lembro bem quatro peças, portas, cortinas de brim

I remember well four rooms, doors, denim curtains

Na frente, tinha um jardim que, toda tarde, eu regava

In front, there was a garden that I watered every afternoon

E, por nada, eu trocava o meu ranchito de capim

And, for nothing, I would exchange my little grassy ranch


E, hoje, aqui, distante, morando aqui na cidade

And today, here, far away, living in the city

Eu tenho muita saudade daqueles tempos atrás

I miss those times ago

Talvez, nem exista mais, ou viraste em tapera

Maybe, it doesn't even exist anymore, or you turned into ruins

Mas, ranchito, tu me espera que, um dia, chego no más!

But little ranch, you wait for me because one day, I'll come back!
