Lyrics

Translation

Vem, vamos cantar,

Come, let's sing,

Eu dou o tom, você faz a melodia.

I set the tone, you create the melody.

Vou, procurar,

I will seek,

No contracanto fazer a harmonia.

In the counterpoint, create the harmony.

No violão, que é tão meu,

On the guitar, which is so mine,

Procurei seu amor,

I sought your love,

Nunca mais vou parar de tocar, bem sei.

I'll never stop playing, I know well.

Quantas notas eu fiz,

How many notes I made,

Num compasso vivi,

In a lived beat,

Sustenidos, bemóis

Sharps, flats,

Pelas mãos eu chorei.

Through my hands, I cried.


Meu violão já me fez

My guitar has already taken me

Ir bem longe daqui,

Far away from here,

Já sonhei dissonâncias

I've dreamed of dissonances

Num som sem fim.

In an endless sound.

Um acorde, porém,

One chord, however,

Nunca pude encontrar,

I could never find,

A harmonia que você levou de mim.

The harmony that you took from me.
