These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Meu nome sabe-me a areia
My name tastes like sand
Que cresce num rio novo
That grows in a new river
Entre as verdades que sonho
Among the truths I dream
E as tristezas que transponho
And the sadness that I overcome
Meu nome sabe-me a povo
My name is known to me by the people
Corro os caminhos do mundo
I run the paths of the world
Como um tronco de raiz
Like a root stump
E se canto uma saudade
And if I sing a longing
Eu limito a humanidade
I limit humanity
Aos campos do meu país
To the fields of my country
Meu nome gastou os dias
My name has spent the days
Que eu tive de amor ao lado
That I had love on the side
Vivo a apagar uma estrela
I live erasing a star
E no desejo de vê la meu nome sabe-me a fado
And in the desire to see her, my name tastes like fado
Vivo a apagar uma estrela
I live erasing a star
E no desejo de vê la meu nome sabe-me a fado
And in the desire to see her, my name tastes like fado
