Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Estrada Velha by Amado Batista from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Só Deus sabe quantas vezes chorei por você
God only knows how many times I cried for you
Nas noites escuras, andando a pé na estrada
On dark nights, walking on the road
As vezes chovia e não tinha onde me esconder
Sometimes it rained and there was nowhere to hide
Soluçando de frio e com fome e a roupa molhada
Sobbing from cold and hunger and wet clothes
Não tinha dinheiro pra comprar passagem
I didn't have money to buy a ticket.
Mas para viver não faltava coragem
But to live there was no lack of courage
Amor pobrezinho eu te oferecia
Poor little love I offered you
Mas era da alma que ele nascia
But it was from the soul that he was born
Amor pobrezinho eu te oferecia
Poor little love I offered you
Mas era da alma que ele nascia
But it was from the soul that he was born
De longe eu vinha pedir pra você me querer
From afar I came to ask you to love me
Mas as minhas súplicas de amor de nada valia
But my pleas for love were of no use
Mas uma viagem perdida chorando eu marcava
But I marked a lost trip crying
No livro de minha mente que nunca enchia
In the book of my mind that never filled
Os anos passaram, você se casou
The years passed, you got married
Eu não voltei mais, o tempo passou
I didn't come back anymore, time passed
Já faz tanto tempo que eu te perdi
It's been so long since I lost you
Vaguei pelo mundo e não te esqueci
I wandered around the world and I didn't forget you
Já faz tanto tempo que eu te perdi
It's been so long since I lost you
Estou vivo por fora mas, por dentro eu morri
I'm alive on the outside but inside I'm dead
