Lem Casa Lyrics Translation in English

Lem casa toda festa ia pra cozinha

Every party at home went to the kitchen

Despensa cheia: Mel, feijão, milho e farinha

Pantry full: Honey, beans, corn, and flour

E no calor do fogão à lenha e da viola

And in the warmth of the wood-burning stove and the guitar

Ninguém que ali tivesse tão cedo ia embora

No one who was there would leave so soon

Quando nascia o Sol lá no sertão mineiro

When the Sun was born in the Minas Gerais backlands

Café com broa, queijo e requeijão caseiro

Coffee with cornbread, cheese, and homemade cream cheese

Lem casa anoitecia e eu dormia

At home, nightfall, and I would sleep

Feito quem jamais queria despertar de tanta paz

Like someone who never wanted to wake up from so much peace

Lem casa o céu era mais céu

At home, the sky was a more sky

E quando olho pras estrelas

And when I look at the stars

Penso ouvir as vozes dos meus pais

I think I hear the voices of my parents

Há muito tempo, que saudade de lem casa

Long ago, how I miss being at home

Dos campos e do riachinho de água rasa

The fields and the shallow water stream

Em que na beira eu sentava pra pescar

Where on the bank I sat to fish

Piaba fresca e muitos causo pra contar

Fresh fish and many stories to tell

Há tempos, que saudade de uma mineira

For a long time, I miss a girl from Minas Gerais

Amor que é verdadeiro dura a vida inteira

Love that is true lasts a lifetime

Lem casa anoitecia e eu dormia

At home, nightfall, and I would sleep

Feito quem jamais queria despertar de tanta paz

Like someone who never wanted to wake up from so much peace

Lem casa o céu era mais céu

At home, the sky was a more sky

E quando olho pras estrelas

And when I look at the stars

Penso ouvir as vozes dos meus pais

I think I hear the voices of my parents
