Proibissem a saudade de cantar
Forbid the longing to sing
Havia de ser bonito
It would be beautiful
Entre os versos da canção mais popular
Among the verses of the most popular song
Ai, é o dito por não dito
Ai, it is said by unsaid
E as guitarras, sob a escuta na batuta de outras modas
And the guitars, under the listening in the baton of other fashions
Escondem no trinar das cordas o pesar
Hide in the trinar of the strings the grief
E o poeta vigiado, forçado ao assobio
And the watched poet, forced to whistle
Carpias mágoas do destino sem mostrar
Sorrows of fate without showing
E ao calor de uma fogueira, um amigo
And in the heat of a campfire, a friend
Com a voz mais aquecida lá entoa
With the most heated voice there intoned
Que a saudade mais que um crime é um castigo
That longing more than a crime is a punishment
E prisão por prisão, temos lisboa
And prison by prison, we have lisbon
Na-rei-ah
Na-king-ah
Proibissem a saudade de cantar
Forbid the longing to sing
Havia de ser bonito
It would be beautiful
Entre os versos da canção mais popular
Among the verses of the most popular song
Ai, é o dito por não dito
Ai, it is said by unsaid
E as guitarras, sob a escuta na batuta de outras modas
And the guitars, under the listening in the baton of other fashions
Escondem no trinar das cordas o pesar
Hide in the trinar of the strings the grief
E o poeta vigiado, forçado ao assobio
And the watched poet, forced to whistle
Carpias mágoas do destino sem mostrar
Sorrows of fate without showing
E ao calor de uma fogueira, um amigo
And in the heat of a campfire, a friend
Com a voz mais aquecida lá entoa
With the most heated voice there intoned
Que a saudade mais que um crime é um castigo
That longing more than a crime is a punishment
E prisão por prisão, temos lisboa
And prison by prison, we have lisbon
Na-rei-ah
Na-king-ah
