Beira de Estrada Lyrics Translation in English
Quinteto Violado
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Beira de estrada, casa tem porta e janela
By the roadside, a house with a door and window
Sem pintura, sem moldura
No paint, no frame
Só cerca, cano e c´as tela
Just a fence, pipe, and with screens
Beira de estrada, casa tem porta e janela
By the roadside, a house with a door and window
Sem pintura, sem moldura
No paint, no frame
Só cerca, cano e c´as tela
Just a fence, pipe, and with screens
Na vida eu já fiz tudo
In life, I've done everything
Fui joão e fui José
I've been John and I've been Joe
Em umbuzeiro eu fui balaieiro
In the umbuzeiro, I was a barrel maker
Empurrei um carrossé
I pushed a cart
Em umbuzeiro eu fui balaieiro
In the umbuzeiro, I was a barrel maker
Empurrei um carrossé
I pushed a cart
Mas hoje mudou tudo
But today everything has changed
Comerciante eu sou
I am a merchant now
Vendo pitomba pro menino
Selling pitomba for the boy
Vendo pitomba pro doutô
Selling pitomba for the doctor
Vendo pitomba pro menino
Selling pitomba for the boy
Vendo pitomba pro doutô
Selling pitomba for the doctor
