Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

/Bruxinha de pano, corpo de trapo, olhos de retrós

Rag doll witch, cloth body, eyes of thread

Encantaste as meninas de outrora, que agora são mães e avós/

You enchanted the girls of yesteryear, who are now mothers and grandmothers


Ninguém mais te lembra, bruxinha de pano

No one remembers you anymore, rag doll witch

De ti só ficou a saudade cruel

Only the cruel longing for you remains

Nuns trapos de chita num fundo de mala

In scraps of calico in the bottom of a suitcase

Nos restos de linhas de algum carretel

In the remnants of threads from some spool


(O mundo hoje é outro, os homens mudaram

(The world today is different, men have changed

E até as meninas de agora não são

And even the girls of now are not

Aquelas meninas, de fitas nas tranças

Those girls with ribbons in their braids

Nanando bruxinhas, no berço das mãos)

Nurturing little witches in the cradle of hands)


Parece que vejo as bruxinhas de pano

It seems I see the rag doll witches

Tornadas humanas por graça de Deus

Turned into humans by the grace of God

Dançando uma valsa dolente e antiga

Dancing a melancholic and ancient waltz

Aos tempos passados, dizendo adeus

Bidding farewell to times gone by
