Luiz GonzagaPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Tudo em vorta é só beleza
Everything around is only beauty
Sol de Abril e a mata em frô
April sun and the forest in bloom
Mas Assum Preto, cego dos óio
But Assum Preto, blind in eyes
Num vendo a luz, ai, canta de dor
Not seeing the light, oh, sings in pain
Mas Assum Preto, cego dos óio
But Assum Preto, blind in eyes
Num vendo a luz, ai, canta de dor
Not seeing the light, oh, sings in pain
Tarvez por ignorança
Perhaps out of ignorance
Ou mardade das pió
Or the wickedness of the worst
Furaro os óio do Assum Preto
They pierced the eyes of Assum Preto
Pra ele assim, ai, cantá mió
So that he could sing better, oh
Furaro os óio do Assum Preto
They pierced the eyes of Assum Preto
Pra ele assim, ai, cantá mió
So that he could sing better, oh
Assum Preto veve sorto
Assum Preto lives free
Mas num pode avuá
But he can't fly
Mil vez a sina de uma gaiola
A thousand times the fate of a cage
Desde que o céu, ai, pudesse oiá
As long as the sky, oh, could see
Mil vez a sina de uma gaiola
A thousand times the fate of a cage
Desde que o céu, ai, pudesse oiá
As long as the sky, oh, could see
Assum Preto, o meu cantar
Assum Preto, my singing
É tão triste como o teu
Is as sad as yours
Também roubaro o meu amor
They also stole my love
Que era a luz, ai, dos óios meus
Which was the light, oh, of my eyes
Também roubaro o meu amor
They also stole my love
Que era a luz, ai, dos óios meus
Which was the light, oh, of my eyes
