Casinha No Meio do Mato Lyrics Translation in English
Henrique TorresPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Casinha no meio do mato
Cottage in the middle of the woods
Lá no pé da serra
There at the foot of the hill
Linda de se ver
Beautiful to behold
Cercada de arame farpado
Surrounded by barbed wire
Curral bem do lado
Corral right beside
Pra o gado conter
To contain the cattle
Na porta um gato deitado
A lazy cat at the door
Janelas abertas
Open windows
Pro vento correr
For the wind to blow through
E as roupas balançam na corda
And clothes swaying on the line
Secando ao Sol
Drying in the sun
De um lindo entardecer
From a beautiful evening
Tem um Flamboyant bem florido
There's a well-flowered Flamboyant
Dançando com o vento
Dancing with the wind
E as flores voando
And the flowers flying
Pintando um céu azulzinho
Painting a little blue sky
De nuvens ligeiras
With light clouds
Que ali vão passando
Passing by
No alpendre, o dono da casa
On the porch, the owner of the house
Tirando um cochilo
Taking a nap
Com o chapéu no rosto
With the hat on his face
Galinha ciscando no mato
Chicken scratching in the bushes
E o galo esticado
And the rooster stretched out
Cantando com gosto
Singing with gusto
Cavalo preso num toco
Horse tied to a stump
Cela pendurada perto do armador
Saddle hanging near the hitching post
E nele, a rede embrulhada
And in it, the hammock wrapped
Esperando o balanço
Waiting for the sway
De quem se deitou
Of those who laid down
Piso de terra batida
Earthen floor
Vassoura de palha
Straw broom
Apoiada à parede
Leaning against the wall
Ao lado, um pote de barro
Next to it, a clay pot
Com água do rio
With water from the river
Pra matar a sede
To quench the thirst
Casinha no meio do mato
Cottage in the middle of the woods
Lá no pé da serra
There at the foot of the hill
Que Deus colocou
That God placed
Cenário de muita riqueza
Scene of great wealth
Tamanha beleza, ninguém inventou
Such beauty, no one invented
