Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Caminheiro sem destino

Wanderer without a destination

O destino é Deus quem dá

Destiny is given by God

Sempre em paz comigo mesmo

Always at peace with myself

Coração só pra cantar

Heart only for singing

Um xamego hoje aqui

A little affection here today

Amanhã, um dengo acolá

Tomorrow, a tender moment there

E o pó das estrada apagando

And the dust of the road erasing

Os xodós que eu tive por lá

The sweet memories I had there

Foi entonce que ela surgiu

That's when she appeared

Tava escrito Orélia chegar

It was written that Orélia would arrive


Orélia, ai, ai, Orélia

Orélia, oh, oh, Orélia

Só de olhar teu olhar magneto

Just by looking at your magnetic gaze

Vi logo o meu fim

I immediately saw my end

Que paixão, foi um choque da peste

What a passion, it was a shock of the plague

Meu corpo tremeu que nem curumim

My body trembled like a child


Orélia, ai, ai, Orélia

Orélia, oh, oh, Orélia

Ai, bichinha, se tu me deixar

Oh, little one, if you leave me

Vai ser muito ruim

It will be very bad

Faço arte no leste e no oeste

I create art in the east and in the west

No sul, no nordeste

In the south, in the northeast

Dou cabo de mim

I put an end to myself
