Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Os teus olhos, negros negros

Your eyes, black, black

são gentios, são gentios da Guiné

are gentle, are gentle from Guinea

ai da Guiné, por serem negros

oh Guinea, for being black

por serem negros, gentios por não ter fé

for being black, gentle for not having faith


Os teus olhos são brilhantes

Your eyes are shining

semelhantes aos luzeiros que o céu tem

similar to the stars that the sky has

ai eu amei dois olhos negros

oh, I loved two black eyes

dois olhos negros, sem fazer mal a ninguém

two black eyes, without harming anyone


Os meus olhos de chorar

My eyes, for crying

ai de chorar, fizeram covas no chão

oh, for crying, made graves in the ground

choram por ti, os teus por quem chorarão?

they cry for you, yours for whom will they cry?
