These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Olha a ribeirinha que sonhou ser rio
Look at the riverside that dreamed of being a river
Olha a ribeirinha que sonhou ser rio
Look at the riverside that dreamed of being a river
Sonho de grandeza de ribeira presa
Dream of greatness of riverbank
Que vai com certeza deixar de sonhar
That will definitely stop dreaming
Anda ribeirinha corre ligeirinha
Walk along the river, run quickly
Não chores sozinha mais chorou o mar
Don't cry alone but the sea cried
Olha a ribeirinha
Look at the riverside
Que é do sonho que ela tinha
What is the dream she had
Olha a ribeirinha
Look at the riverside
Que é do sonho que ela tinha
What is the dream she had
De pedra, pedrinha a pedrinha
From stone, pebble to pebble
Vai correndo a ribeirinha
Go running along the riverside
De pedra, pedrinha a pedrinha
From stone, pebble to pebble
Vai correndo a ribeirinha
Go running along the riverside
Vi a ribeirinha que triste que vinha
I saw the riverside how sad it was coming
Vi a ribeirinha tão triste que vinha
I saw the riverside so sad that it came
Sonhou a ribeira com a terra inteira
The river dreamed of the entire land
A correr ligeira seu sangue gastou
Running quickly, your blood spent
Da mesma maneira sequei eu, ribeira
I dried in the same way, river
Da mesma maneira meu sonho secou
In the same way my dream dried up
Ai a ribeirinha
Oh the riverside
Que tinha o sonho que eu tinha
Who had the dream I had
Ai a ribeirinha
Oh the riverside
Que tinha o sonho que eu tinha
Who had the dream I had
Chorando, gotinha a gotinha
Crying, drop by drop
Vai secando a ribeirinha
The riverbank is drying up
Chorando, gotinha a gotinha
Crying, drop by drop
Vai secando a ribeirinha
The riverbank is drying up
Ai a ribeirinha ai a ribeirinha
Oh the riverside oh the riverside
Que tinha o sonho que eu tinha
Who had the dream I had
