Lua Prateada Lyrics Translation in English
Silveira e SilveirinhaPortuguese 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"
