Meu Pago Lyrics Translation in English
José Claudio MachadoPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Venho vindo das campinas
I come from the plains
Deste rio grande de deus
From this great river of God
Venho atrás dos teus carinhos
I come after your affection
Dos meigos sorrisos teus
From your gentle smiles
Mal desponta o sol dourado
As the golden sun barely appears
Saio a trote pela estrada
I ride at a trot along the road
O meu pingo é bem ligeiro
My horse is very swift
Năo lhe abate a caminhada
The journey does not weary him
Nos verdes pampas do meu rio grande
In the green plains of my Rio Grande
Tudo é beleza năo se sabe o que é tristeza
Everything is beautiful, sorrow is unknown
Vive alegre o coraçăo
The heart lives happily
E a noite desce toda estrelada
And the night descends, full of stars
Entăo é lindo ver-se a guapa gauchada
Then it's lovely to see the brave gauchos
De viola e gaita mão
With guitar and accordion in hand
Todos cantam seus amores
Everyone sings their loves
Pondo a măo no coraçăo
Placing their hands on their hearts
Chora a gaita no terreiro
The accordion weeps in the courtyard
Geme o pinho no galpăo
The pine groans in the shed
Quem năo ama o rio grande
Who does not love Rio Grande
Desconhece o que é viver
Does not know what it is to live
Deixa o lado bom da vida
Leaves the good side of life
Para penar e sofrer
To suffer and endure
