Anjo da Estrada Lyrics Translation in English

Na estrada de Belém-Brasília

On the Belém-Brasília highway

Com a sua filha

With his daughter

Um casal de turistas

A couple of tourists

Num inverno de céu encoberto

In a winter sky covered

Socorro mais perto

Help closer

Pra ser realista

To be realistic

Era só no quilômetro duzentos

It was only at kilometer two hundred

Veja o tormento

See the torment

Para o motorista

For the driver

Que dormiu numa curva da estrada

Who slept on a curve of the road

Já de madrugada

Already at dawn

E capotou na pista

And overturned on the track

E o carro deu perca total

And the car was a total loss

E aquele casal

And that couple

Nenhum corte sofreu

Did not suffer any cuts

Mais a filha sangrava bastante

But the daughter was bleeding a lot

Naquele instante

At that moment

Aos pais socorreu

She helped her parents

Que somente uma força divina

That only a divine force

Salvava a menina

Was saving the girl

Do triste adeus

From the sad farewell

E o casal gritava na pista

And the couple shouted on the track

Filhinha resista

Little girl, resist

Tenha fé em Deus

Have faith in God

De repente na escuridão

Suddenly in the darkness

Viram um clarão

They saw a flash

E um carro parar

And a car stop

Todo branco bonito e possante

All white, beautiful, and powerful

Tinha ao volante

Had at the wheel

Alguém familiar

Someone familiar

Socorrendo naquele momento

Helping at that moment

Do acostamento

From the shoulder

Os turistas a chorar

The tourists crying

E o carro a duzentos saía

And the car at two hundred took off

Até parecia

It almost seemed

Que ia voar

Like it was flying

E chegando em um hospital

And arriving at a hospital

Um clinico geral

A general practitioner

Estancou a safena

Stopped the saphenous vein

Da garota que tanto sofria

Of the girl who suffered so much

E assim reagia

And thus reacted

Aquela pequena

That little one

E o casal já feliz no conforto

And the couple already happy in comfort

Falou ao piloto

Told the pilot

A vitória foi plena

The victory was complete

E o rapaz ao casal deu risada

And the guy laughed at the couple

Era o anjo da estrada

It was the angel of the road

O Ayrton Senna

Ayrton Senna
