English Translation

Naquela mesa ele sentava sempre

At that table, he always sat

E me dizia sempre o que é viver melhor

And always told me what it means to live better

Naquela mesa ele contava histórias

At that table, he told stories

Que hoje na memória eu guardo e sei de cor

Which today in my memory I keep and know by heart

Naquela mesa ele juntava gente

At that table, he gathered people

E contava contente o que fez de manhã

And happily recounted what he did in the morning

E nos seus olhos era tanto brilho

And in his eyes, there was so much brightness

Que mais que seu filho

That more than his son

Eu fiquei seu fã

I became his fan


Eu não sabia que doía tanto

I didn't know it hurt so much

Uma mesa num canto, uma casa e um jardim

A table in a corner, a house, and a garden

Se eu soubesse o quanto dói a vida

If I had known how life hurts

Essa dor tão doída, não doía assim

This painful pain wouldn't hurt like this

Agora resta uma mesa na sala

Now there's only a table in the room

E hoje ninguém mais fala do seu bandolim

And today, no one talks about his mandolin

Naquela mesa ta faltando ele

At that table, he's missing

E a saudade dele ta doendo em mim

And his longing is hurting in me

Naquela mesa ta faltando ele

At that table, he's missing

E a saudade dele ta doendo em mim

And his longing is hurting in me
