Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A estrela dalva vem despontando prenunciando a madrugada.
The morning star is rising, heralding the dawn.
A gaita velha cheia de poeira dê-lhe vaneira, meio acanhada.
The old accordion, full of dust, plays vaneira, somewhat shyly.
O candeeiro tá cochilando anunciando o fim da festança.
The lantern is nodding off, announcing the end of the celebration.
Os galos cantam lá no "puleiro" e no entreveiro a moçada dança.
The roosters crow in the coop, amidst the commotion, the youngsters dance.
Vai madrugada, repontando o dia
Dawn is coming, heralding the day
Que o sol não demora a raiar espiando
The sun won't delay in peering through
Nas frestas de um resto de baile
In the cracks of a leftover dance
Uma gaita manhosa num canto a chorar.
An emotional accordion weeps in a corner.
Estrada afora escramuçam cavalos,
Along the road, horses clatter,
A gauchada levando nos sonhos a moça morena
The country folks carry in their dreams the dark-haired girl
Campeando talvez outra madrugada.
Scouting perhaps for another dawn.
Estrada afora escramuçam cavalos,
Along the road, horses clatter,
A gauchada levando nos sonhos a moça morena
The country folks carry in their dreams the dark-haired girl
Campeando talvez outra madrugada.
Scouting perhaps for another dawn.
