Lampião de Gás Lyrics Translation in English
Francisco Petrônio
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Da sua luzinha verde azulada
With your bluish-green little light
Que iluminava a minha janela
That illuminated my window
Do almofadinha lá da calçada
From the dandy there on the sidewalk
Palheta branca, calça apertada
White pick, tight pants
Do bilboquê, do diabolô
From bilboquet, from diabolo
Me dá foguinho, vai no vizinho
Give me a little fire, go to the neighbor
De pular corda, brincar de roda
Jumping rope, playing in a circle
De Benjamim, Jagunço e Chiquinho
With Benjamim, Jagunço, and Chiquinho
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Do bonde aberto, do carvoeiro
From the open streetcar, from the coal man
Do vassoureiro, com seu pregão
From the broom seller, with his chant
Da vovozinha, muito branquinha
From grandma, very fair
Fazendo roscas, sequilhos e pão
Making twists, biscuits, and bread
Da garoinha fria, fininha
From the cold, thin drizzle
Escorregando pela vidraça
Sliding down the windowpane
Do sabugueiro grande e cheiroso
From the large and fragrant elderberry
Lá do quintal da rua da graça
There in the backyard of Graça Street
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
Da minha São Paulo, calma e serena
From my São Paulo, calm and serene
Que era pequena, mas grande demais
That was small but too big
Agora cresceu, mas tudo morreu
Now it has grown, but everything has died
Lampião de gás que saudade me traz
Gas lamp, how much longing you bring to me
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Lampião de gás
Gas lamp
Quanta saudade
How much longing
Você me traz
You bring to me
