No Rancho Fundo Lyrics Translation in English

No rancho fundo, bem pra lá do fim do mundo

In the deep ranch, far beyond the end of the world

Onde a dor e a saudade contam coisas da cidade

Where pain and longing tell tales of the city

No rancho fundo, de olhar triste e profundo

In the deep ranch, with a sad and profound gaze

Um moreno conta as mágoas tendo os olhos rasos d'água

A dark-haired man recounts sorrows with eyes brimming with tears

Pobre moreno, que de tarde no sereno

Poor dark-haired man, who in the evening dew

Espera a lua no terreiro tendo o cigarro por companheiro

Waits for the moon in the yard, with a cigarette as a companion

Sem um aceno ele pega da viola

Without a gesture, he takes up the guitar

E a lua por esmola vem pro quintal deste moreno

And the moon, as alms, comes to the yard of this dark-haired man

No rancho fundo, bem pra lá do fim do mundo

In the deep ranch, far beyond the end of the world

Nunca mais houve alegria nem de noite nem de dia

Never again was there joy, neither at night nor during the day

Os arvoredos já não contam mais segredos

The groves no longer whisper secrets

E a última palmeira já morreu na cordilheira

And the last palm tree has died in the mountain range

Os passarinhos internaram-se nos ninhos

The little birds have retreated into their nests

De tão triste esta tristeza enche de trevas a natureza

So sad is this sadness, it fills nature with darkness

Tudo por quê? Só por causa do moreno

All because of what? Only because of the dark-haired man

Que era grande, hoje é pequeno para uma casa de sapê

Who was once great, today is small for a house of straw
