De Sérgio Bittencourt para Jacob do Bandolim

From Sérgio Bittencourt to Jacob do Bandolim


Naquela mesa, ele sentava sempre

At that table, he always sat

E me dizia sempre

And always told me

O que é viver melhor

What it means to live better


Naquela mesa, ele contava histórias

At that table, he told stories

Que hoje na memória

Which today in memory

Eu guardo e sei de cor

I keep and know by heart


Naquela mesa, ele juntava gente

At that table, he gathered people

E contava contente

And happily told

O que fez de manhã

What he did in the morning

E nos seus olhos era tanto brilho

And in his eyes, there was so much brightness

Que mais que seu filho

That more than his son

Eu fiquei seu fã

I became his fan


Eu não sabia

I didn't know

Eu não sabia que doía tanto

I didn't know it hurt so much

Uma mesa num canto

A table in a corner

Uma casa e um jardim

A house and a garden


Se eu soubesse o quanto dói a vida

If I knew how much life hurts

Essa dor tão doída

This pain so painful

Não doía assim

It wouldn't hurt like this


Agora resta uma mesa na sala

Now there's just a table in the room

E hoje ninguém mais fala

And today, no one talks anymore

No seu bandolim

About his mandolin

Naquela mesa tá faltando ele

That table is missing him

E a saudade dele

And his longing

Tá doendo em mim

Is hurting in me


Naquela mesa tá faltando ele

That table is missing him

E a saudade dele

And his longing

Tá doendo em mim

Is hurting in me
