Era Menino Lyrics Translation in English

Te levou

Took you away

A canção que eu cantarolava

The song that I used to hum

Muito por querer

Very much by desire

A canção que eu não conhecia

The song that I didn't know

Te levou

Took you away

Voou pelo céu azulou

Flew through the blue sky

A asa branca

The white-winged

Nem vi se foi pro mar

I didn't even see if it went to the sea

Na canção que eu cantarolava

In the song that I used to hum

Muito por querer

Very much by desire

E não atinava em nada

And I didn't catch on to anything

Te perdi

I lost you

O pôr-do-sol lá no capim

The sunset there in the grass

A estrada branca pra seguir

The white road to follow

Era menino

It was a boy

Vida inteira na mão

Whole life in hand

Tendo a vida que eu queria

Having the life I wanted

E relampejou

And it flashed

Coração, minha asa branca

Heart, my white wing

Te perdi

I lost you

Sumiu la no céu azulou

Disappeared in the blue sky

Fui pela estrada

I went down the road

Nem vi amor passar

I didn't even see love pass by

Na vereda na lua branca

In the path in the white moonlight

A te procurar e

To look for you and

Menino eu não sabia

Boy, I didn't know

Te perdi

I lost you

Cantarolei na imensidão

I hummed in the vastness

A luz da lua no capim

The moonlight on the grass

Era menino

It was a boy

Vida inteira na mão

Whole life in hand

Tendo a vida que eu queria

Having the life I wanted

E relampejou

And it flashed

Coração, minha asa branca

Heart, my white wing

Te perdi

I lost you
