Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Saiu de madrugada

Left at dawn

Os cascos na calçada

The hooves on the sidewalk

Quem tava adormecida escutou

Those who were asleep heard

A noite enluarada

The moonlit night

Cruzou em disparada

She crossed in a hurry

O lago onde a sereia se banhou

The lake where the mermaid bathed


Correu a noite inteira

She ran the whole night

Ergueu tanta poeira

Raised so much dust

Perdeu-se nos caminhos de sertão

Got lost in the backcountry

Ouviu atrás do morro

Heard behind the hill

Latidos de cachorro

Dog barks

E o grito de um jaguar na escuridão

And the cry of a jaguar in the darkness


O céu, as estrelas

The sky, the stars

Ouviam meu fado

Heard my fate

Passei num roçado

I passed in a clearing

Cheguei num capim

I reached a pasture


Maria Fumaça

Maria Fumaça

Com olhos de fogo

With eyes of fire

Passou a dois metros

Passed two meters away

Gritando pra mim

Screaming at me


Subi no véu da cachoeira

I climbed the waterfall's veil

Bebi a chuva que caiu

Drank the rain that fell

Tirei fagulhas nos lajedos

Took sparks on the rocks

Cruzei parede que se abriu

Crossed a wall that opened


Montanhas escondidas

Hidden mountains

Veredas tão compridas

Paths so long

E a boca de um abismo a esperar

And the mouth of an abyss waiting

Tropel na encruzilhada

Stampede at the crossroads

Canção mal assombrada

Haunted song

Corujas com seus olhos de luar

Owls with their moonlit eyes


O céu, as estrelas

The sky, the stars

Ouviam meu fado

Heard my fate

Passei num roçado

I passed in a clearing

Cheguei num capim

I reached a pasture


Maria Fumaça

Maria Fumaça

Com olhos de fogo

With eyes of fire

Passou a dois metros

Passed two meters away

Gritando pra mim

Screaming at me


Subi no véu da cachoeira

I climbed the waterfall's veil

Bebi a chuva que caiu

Drank the rain that fell

Tirei fagulhas nos lajedos

Took sparks on the rocks

Cruzei parede que se abriu

Crossed a wall that opened


O céu, as estrelas

The sky, the stars
