Lua Quebrada Lyrics Translation in English

Ói a lua tá quebrada

Look, the moon is broken

Mas quem fez isso com ela

But who did this to her

Foi São Jorge com a espada

It was São Jorge with the sword

Ou suspiro de donzela

Or a maiden's sigh

Essa lua enluarada

This moonlit moon

Eu conheço de outro dia

I know from another day

Se quebrou ficou pregada

If it broke, it stayed stuck

Na bandeira da Turquia

In the flag of Turkey

Ou quem sabe, foi tucano

Or perhaps, it was a toucan

Que tentou lhe dar um beijo

Who tried to give her a kiss

Ou, astronauta americano

Or an American astronaut

Que pensou que fosse queijo

Who thought it was cheese

Se coragem fosse medo

If courage were fear

Lá no céu eu subiria

There in the sky, I would ascend

Perguntava prá São Pedro:

I would ask Saint Peter:

Isso é lua ou melancia?

Is this a moon or a watermelon?

Mas, quem mora nessa lua

But, who lives on this moon

Morá só, nem pedacinho

Lives alone, not even a little piece

Sem poder sair na rua

Unable to go out on the street

Fica tudo apertadinho

Everything gets a little tight
