Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Morena bonita que conta as estrelas

Beautiful brunette who counts the stars

Parada na janela fica a matutar

Stopped at the window, lost in thought

Quem dera eu fosse a estrela dalva

How I wish I were the morning star

E os seus desejos poder realizar

And could fulfill your wishes


Menino vadio que namora alua

Wild boy who courts the moon

Pensamento alado sonha com o mar

Winged thought, dreams of the sea

Imagina um dia ser um andarilho

Imagines one day being a wanderer

Sair sem destino e não mais voltar

Leaving without a destination and never coming back


Deixar para traz o ar puro do campo

Leaving behind the pure air of the countryside

Ás suas raízes e seu sabiá

To its roots and its sabiá bird

Deixar para traz o ar puro do campo

Leaving behind the pure air of the countryside

Ás suas raízes e não mais voltar

To its roots and never coming back


Eita quanta saudade dessas coisas desse lugar

Oh, how much I miss these things from that place
