Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

É altas horas já é madrugada

It's late hours, it's already dawn

é noite fria e eu já vou partindo

It's a cold night and I'm already leaving

lá bem distante pego a recordar

There, far away, I start to recall

a despedida e as lágrimas caídas

The farewell and the fallen tears


Vou soluçando pela estrada afora

I go sobbing along the road

no troteado do meu alazão

In the trot of my sorrel

o galo canta lá no pé da serra

The rooster crows down by the hill

e o gado berra lá no paiadão

And the cattle low in the pasture


A lua cheia lá no céu clareia

The full moon up in the sky shines

Iluminando as verdes matas

Lighting up the green woods

o meu ruzio pisando macio

My bay horse treading softly

silencioso das quatro patas

Silent on its four hooves


Da reta estranha cortando as montanhas

On the strange straight cutting through the mountains

Eu vejo ao longe aquela ingrata

I see in the distance that ungrateful one


vou protegido pela luz prateada

I go protected by the silvered light

cortando as estrada

Cutting through the roads

a saudade me maltrata (2x)

The longing mistreats me (2x)


"Vou deixando esta terra

"I'm leaving this land

o meu destino é viajar

My destiny is to travel

destante desta moçada a saudade vem apertar

Away from this young crowd, longing tightens

adeus morena bonita

Goodbye, beautiful brunette

um dia eu volto pra te buscar"

One day I'll come back to take you"
