Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Soltei meu primeiro pombo-correio

I released my first carrier pigeon

Com a carta pr'aquela mulher que me abandonou

With the letter for that woman who abandoned me

Soltei o segundo, o terceiro, meu pombal terminou

I released the second, the third, my pigeon loft ended

Ela não veio nem o pombo voltou

She didn't come, and the pigeon didn't return


Depois que aquela mulher me abandonou

After that woman abandoned me

Não sei porque minha vida desandou

I don't know why my life went awry

Meu canário morreu, a roseira murchou

My canary died, the rosebush withered

Meu papagaio emudeceu, o cano d'água furou

My parrot fell silent, the water pipe burst


E até o sol por pirraça

And even the sun, on a whim

Invadiu minha vidraça

Invaded my window

E o retrato dela desbotou

And her portrait faded
