Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Vai cartinha fechada

Go, sealed letter

Não deixa ninguém te abrir

Don't let anyone open you

Àquela casa caiada

To that whitewashed house

Donde mora a letra I

Where the letter I resides


E diz que como a cacimba

And say that, like the well

Do rio que o verão secou

Of the river dried up by summer

Meus óio chorou tanta mágoa

My eyes shed so much sorrow

Que hoje sem água

That today, without water

Nem responde a dor

It doesn't even respond to pain


Vai diz que o amor

Go and say that love

Fumega no meu coração

Smolders in my heart

Tal e qual fogueira

Just like a bonfire

Das noites de São João

On the nights of São João

Que eu sofro

That I suffer

Por viver sem ela

For living without her

Tando longe dela

Being far from her

Só sei reclamar

I only know how to complain

Pois vivo como um passarinho

Because I live like a little bird

Que longe do ninho

That far from its nest

Só pensa em voltar

Only thinks about returning
