Ó meu amigo joão
O my friend John
Em que terras te perdeste
What land did you lose you in
Se por nada lá morreste
If you're dead there for nothing
Meu amigo, meu irmão
My friend, my brother
De nascença duvidosa proíbiram a tua infãncia
From dubious birth they forbade your infanion
Transformaram-te em distãncia como braços de alcançar
They've turned you into a distance as arms to reach
Foste folha a flutuar arrastada p'la corrente
You were leaf floating dragged to the current
E o teu sangue foi semente dos cifrões doutro lugar
And your blood was the seed of the dollar signs from somewhere else
Gostavas de ouvir cantar as modas da nossa terra
Would you like to hear the fashions of our land sing
E a verdade que ela encerra no seu jeito popular
And the truth that she ends up in her popular way
Teu corpo de tudo dar corre nas veias do mundo
Your body of everything give runs through the veins of the world
Imenso, fértil, fecundo com força de terra e mar
Immense, fertile, fruitful with strength of land and sea
Ponho em ti o recordar na agrura da tua morte
I put in you the recalling in the group of your death
Por sobre o sangue a gritar que não foi azar nem sorte
About the screaming blood that wasn't bad luck or luck
E a força do vento norte levou teu grito na mão
And the force of the north wind took thy cry in his hand
Meu amigo, meu irmão quem forçou a tua sorte
My friend, my brother who forced your luck
