Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Foi bonita a festa, pá

It was a beautiful party, pal

Fiquei contente

I was happy

E ainda guardo, renitente

And I still keep, stubbornly

Um velho cravo para mim

An old carnation for myself


Já murcharam em tua festa, pá

They have already withered at your party, pal

Mas certamente

But surely

Esqueceram uma semente em algum

They forgot a seed somewhere

Canto de jardim

In some corner of a garden


Sei que há léguas a nos separar

I know there are leagues to separate us

Tanto mar, tanto mar

So much sea, so much sea

Sei também quanto é preciso, pá

I also know how much is necessary, pal

Navegar, navegar

To sail, to sail


Canta a primavera pá

Sing, spring, pal

Cá estou carente

Here I am, longing

Manda novamente algum cheirinho

Send again some little scent

De alecrim!

Of rosemary!
