Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Sempre volto à nossa casa, na esperança de te ver

Always return to our home, hoping to see you

Molho as plantas da varanda, tudo seca sem você

I water the plants on the balcony, everything dries without you

Vidas secas sem você

Dry lives without you


Sinto medo dos caminhos, sigo em frente, nessa vila

I fear the paths, I move forward, in this village

Plataforma da estação, pôr do Sol da minha terra

Platform of the station, sunset of my land

Outro trem já vem chegando

Another train is already approaching


Velha estação do meu lugar

Old station of my place

Fui tão feliz a te cruzar

I was so happy to cross paths with you

O trem cargueiro passa devagar

The freight train passes slowly

Sem pressa vem até parar

Without hurry, it comes to a stop


O progresso é uma navalha

Progress is a razor

Corta o tempo e o sentimento

It cuts through time and feeling

Só a saudade que ficou nosso trem que já passou

Only the longing remains for our train that has already passed

As estrelas te iluminam

The stars illuminate you
