Translation

Na sombra desse meu canto

In the shade of this my song

Descanso todo o passado

I rest all the past

O que já vivi tá guardado

What I've lived is kept

São linhas na palma da mão

They are lines in the palm of my hand


Foi tanta paixão, tanto medo

There was so much passion, so much fear

Tantos segredos em mim

So many secrets within me

Fui meu escravo tão cedo

I became my slave so early

Meus pesadelos guardei

I kept my nightmares


O primeiro beijo roubei

I stole the first kiss

A primeira flor nunca dei

I never gave the first flower

O primeiro amor só sonhei

I only dreamt the first love

A primeira foi desamor

The first was disappointment


Por isso me fiz cantador

That's why I became a singer

Beijando e amando a cantiga

Kissing and loving the song

Sonhando com a flor margarida

Dreaming of the daisy flower

Não produzo mel, só canção

I don't produce honey, only songs


O barro do chão testemunha

The earth on the ground witnesses

Meus pés ainda cortam o sertão

My feet still cross the backlands

E gasto a ponta das unhas

And I wear out the tips of my nails

Nas cordas do meu violão

On the strings of my guitar
