Naquela Mesa Lyrics Translation in English
Jô HoltzPortuguese Lyrics
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
