Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

De onde me vem cordeona o formigueiro

From where does the accordion bring me the anthill

Que sinto n´alma ao te escutar floreando

That I feel in the soul when listening to you flourishing

Esta vontade de morrer peleando

This desire to die while fighting

Será que um dia eu já não fui gaiteiro?

Was there a day when I wasn't a bagpiper?


De onde me vem este tropel no pulso

From where does this tumult in the wrist come to me

Este calor de fogo que incendeia

This warmth of fire that ignites

Porque será que fico assim convulso

Why do I become convulsive like this

Só de ouvir-te o sangue corcoveia

Just from hearing your blood bucking


É o atavismo, eu sei cordeona amiga

It's atavism, I know, dear accordion

Sem que tu digas, sem que ninguém diga

Without you saying, without anyone saying

Parceira guasca que nos apaixona

Partner from the countryside that captivates us

E se mil vidas deus me desse um dia

And if God gave me a thousand lives one day

Uma por uma delas eu daria

One by one, I would give them

Pra ter mil funerais de mil cordeonas!

To have a thousand funerals of a thousand accordions!
