Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

No quintal lá de casa

In the backyard of my house

Passava um pequeno rio

Flowed a small river

Que descia lá da serra

Coming down from the mountains

Ligeiro escorregadio

Swift and slippery

A agua era cristalina

The water was crystal clear

Que dava pra ver o chão

That you could see the ground

Ia cortando a floresta

It cut through the forest

Na direção do sertão

Towards the direction of the hinterland

Lembrança ainda me resta

A memory still remains

Guardada no coração...

Kept in the heart...


E tudo era azul celeste

And everything was heavenly blue

Brasileiro cor de anil

Brazilian, the color of indigo

Nem bem começava o ano

Not even the year had begun

Já era final de Abril

Already the end of April

O vento pastoreando

The wind herding

Aquelas nuvens no céu...

Those clouds in the sky...

Fazia o mundo girar

Made the world spin

Veloz como um carrossel

Fast like a carousel

E levantava a poeira

And lifted the dust

E me arrancava o chapéu

And took off my hat


Ah o tempo faz, tempo desfaz

Ah, time makes, time undoes

E vai além sempre...

And always goes beyond...


A vida vem lá de longe

Life comes from afar

É como se fosse um rio

It's like a river

Pra rio pequeno canoa

For small rivers, a canoe

Pros grandes rios navios

For big rivers, ships

E bem lá no fim de tudo

And way down at the end of everything

Começo de outro lugar

The beginning of another place

Será como Deus quiser

It will be as God wills

Como o destino mandar

As destiny commands

No rastro da lua cheia

In the wake of the full moon

Se chega em qualquer lugar!

You can reach anywhere!
