Verse 1
There are moments in life
That we remember until we die
Such sad romantic pasts
That no one can forget
I carry a sad memory
Of a loved one who swore to love me
It's stuck in my thoughts
And time won't erase it
Chorus 1
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you
Chorus 2
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you
Verse 2
While I sang about love
A passion was born in me
In the twilight a face
Smiled at me from the window
A kiss united our lives
But it buried my dreams
Months later a letter
And in it the word goodbye
Chorus 3
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you
Chorus 4
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you
Verse 3
My hair is gray
From the damp air of the early mornings
My old guitar in a corner
I don't sing serenades anymore
I embrace the warmth of the sun
I cry when I see the moon
Companion to the beautiful songs
That I sang on your street
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you
I was the serenader of the nights
I sang watching the dawn
Soaked with the raindrops
With flowers to offer you

SeresteiroSerenader

Seresteiro is a beautiful Portuguese word for a "serenader," a musician who sings romantic serenades, typically at night.

This word paints a picture of a classic romantic figure, often with a guitar, singing under a lover's window. In this classic song, Amado Batista tells the story of his life as a seresteiro, pouring his heart out in song and ultimately facing heartbreak. It's a word full of nostalgia, passion, and musical tradition.

“Seresteiro das Noites” is a nostalgic postcard from a once-devoted serenader. The singer walks us through rainy, guitar-strumming nights when he stood beneath a lover’s window, soaking wet yet overflowing with hope, offering songs and fresh flowers as dawn slowly painted the sky. In those magical moments a single smile and a stolen kiss felt powerful enough to unite two lives forever.

But time rewrites even the sweetest melodies. A sudden goodbye letter shatters the dream, and years later the former troubadour is left with gray hair, a dusty guitar, and bittersweet memories that the sun cannot warm and the moon only intensifies. The song is a heartfelt reflection on lost love, aging, and the way certain moments linger eternally in the mind, no matter how many dawns come and go.
