Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Regressar é reunir dois lados

To return is to reunite two sides

À dor do dia de partir

With the pain of the day of departure

Com seus fios enredados

With its tangled threads

Na alegria de sentir

In the joy of feeling

Que a velha mágoa

That the old sorrow

É moça temporã

Is an early girl

Seu belo noivo é o amanhã

Her handsome fiancé is tomorrow


Eu voltei pra juntar pedaços

I returned to gather pieces

De tanta coisa que passei

Of so many things I've been through

Da infância abriu-se o laço

The knot of childhood opened

Nas mãos do homem que eu amei

In the hands of the man I loved

O anzol dessa paixão me machucou

The hook of this passion hurt me

Hoje sou peixe

Today I am a fish

E sou meu próprio pescador

And I am my own fisherman


Rio, voltei no curso

River, I returned in the course

Revi o meu percurso

I reviewed my path

Me perdi no leste

I got lost in the east

E a alma renasceu

And the soul was reborn

Com flores de algodão

With cotton flowers

No coração do Agreste

In the heart of the Agreste


Quando eu morava aqui

When I lived here

Olhava o mar azul

I looked at the blue sea

No afã de ir e vir

In the eagerness of coming and going

Ah fiz de uma saudade

Ah, I made a happiness

A felicidade

Out of a longing

Pra voltar aqui

To come back here
