These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dorme o sol à flor do chico, meio-dia
Sleep so sun chico, noon
Tudo esbarra embriagado de seu lume
Everything bumps drunk from its fire
Dorme ponte, pernambuco, rio, bahia
Sleepbridge, Pernambuco, River, Bahia
Só vigia um ponto negro: o meu ciúme
Just watch one black spot: my jealousy
O ciúme lançou sua flecha preta
Jealousy cast his black arrow
E se viu ferido justo na garganta
And he found himself wounded just in the throat
Quem nem alegre, nem triste, nem poeta
Who neither cheerful nor sad, nor poet
Entre petrolina e juazeiro canta
Between petrolina and juazeiro sings
Velho chico, vens de minas
Old chico, vens de minas
De onde o oculto do mistério se escondeu
From where the hidden mystery hid
Sei que o levas todo em ti
I know you take it all in you
Não me ensinas
You don't teach me
E eu sou só eu só eu só eu
And I'm just me just me
Juazeiro, nem te lembras dessa tarde
Juazeiro, you don't even remember this afternoon
Petrolina, nem chegaste a perceber
Petrolina, you didn't even notice
Mas na voz que canta tudo ainda arde
But in the voice that sings everything still shshes
Tudo é perda, tudo quer buscar, cadê?
Everything is loss, everything wants to seek, where?
Tanta gente canta
So many people sing
Tanta gente cala
So many people shut up
Tantas almas esticadas no curtume
So many souls stretched in the tannery
Sobre toda estrada, sobre toda sala
Over every road, over every room
Paira monstruosa
Monstrous hovers
A sombra do ciúme
The shadow of jealousy
