Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A vida passa e deixa rastros pra quem sabe

Life passes and leaves traces for those who know

Quem conviveu com a lida campo afora

Who lived with the toil in the fields

Um cusco manso que traçava meu caminho

A gentle dog that traced my path

Hoje eu ando sozinho

Today, I walk alone

De tristeza e de saudade

With sadness and longing

A lua cheia que rondava ao pé da serra

The full moon that roamed at the foot of the hills

E o cruzeiro que mostrava aqui é o sul

And the Southern Cross that pointed, here is the south

Era o clarim o meu galo cantador

It was the bugle, my singing rooster

A vida tinha sabor

Life had flavor

E pouco resta de mim

And little remains of me


Ficou o galpão

The shed remained

E a carreta sem estrada

And the wagon without a road

Lá num canto abandonada

There in a corner, abandoned

Sem histórias pra contar

With no stories to tell

Ficou lembranças

Remained memories

De um tempo que se foi

Of a time that has passed

Hoje é tapera e minha dor

Today, it's a ruin, and my pain

É um laço forte pro meu cantar

Is a strong bond for my singing

Ficou tropilhas

Remained herds

No meu sonho de andarilho

In my dream as a wanderer

Meus olhos perdem o brilho

My eyes lose their sparkle

Numa lágrima de voltar

In a tear of return
