Minha Neguinha Lyrics Translation in English

Ô minha linda, minha neguinha

Oh my beautiful, my little black girl

O meu café ficou tão sozinho

My coffee feels so lonely

Os meninos que passam

The boys who pass by

Eu olho sem ter pra quem mostrar

I look without anyone to show

Ô minha linda, minha neguinha

Oh my beautiful, my little black girl

Histórias que eu conto no vento

Stories I tell in the wind

Eu me sento aqui pra ladainha

I sit here for the chant

Eu me sento aqui avoadinha

I sit here in a daze

Eu guardo no bolso

I keep in my pocket

Eu guardo no bolso as histórias da Dona Sinhá

I keep in my pocket the stories of Dona Sinhá

Mas me falta tu mesmo

But I miss you so much

E teu jeito de me contar

And your way of telling me

E eu guardo no bolso

And I keep in my pocket

Eu guardo no bolso da Dona Sinhá

I keep in my pocket from Dona Sinhá

Histórias que tu me traz

Stories that you bring to me

E as flores começam a girar

And the flowers begin to spin

O sol se põe na pracinha

The sun sets in the little square

E eu me sentei cantando sozinha

And I sat there singing alone

O sol se põe lá na pracinha

The sun sets over there in the little square

E eu me sentei sonhando quetinha

And I sat there dreaming quietly

O sol se põe lá na pracinha

The sun sets over there in the little square

E eu me sentei cantando sozinha

And I sat there singing alone

Eu guardo no bolso

I keep in my pocket

Eu guardo no bolso as histórias da Dona Sinhá

I keep in my pocket the stories of Dona Sinhá

Mas me falta tu mesmo

But I miss you so much

E teu jeito de me contar

And your way of telling me

Eu guardo no bolso

I keep in my pocket

Eu guardo no bolso da Dona Sinhá

I keep in my pocket from Dona Sinhá

Histórias que tu me traz

Stories that you bring to me

E as flores começam a girar

And the flowers begin to spin
