Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Campinos Do Ribatejo by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vão um dia a Vila Franca, é meu conselho
Go to Vila Franca one day, that's my advice
Vejam da ponte um por-de-sol tão vermelho ao
See from the bridge such a red sunset
Longe no horizonte
Far on the horizon
Porque é esse o seu destino, firme o campino
Because this is your destiny, firm the field
O gado conduz então é que a gente vê como
The cattle lead, so we see how
É belo até visto no contra-luz
It's beautiful even seen in the backlight
Campinos do Ribatejo, gente feliz, gente sã!
Campinos do Ribatejo, happy people, healthy people!
Nem sabe como os invejo ao vê-los pela manhã!
You don't even know how much I envy them when I see them in the morning!
Quem vem assim confiado junto do
Whoever comes thus entrusted to the
Gado é que está crente
Cattle are the ones who believe
Que esses bravos animais são mais
That these brave animals are more
Leais que muita gente!
Loyal than many people!
Visto de longe o campino
View of the countryside from afar
Tem tal nobreza a sua figura
His figure has such nobility
Que há nele a mesma grandeza
That there is the same greatness in him
Que existe numa escultura
That exists in a sculpture
Tem na mão firme o pampilho
Hold the pampilho in your firm hand
Se algum novilho se desmalhou
If a bull has lost its weight
É varonil quando passa
He's manly when he passes
É a própria raça que alguém modelou
It's the very race that someone modeled
