Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cancao Da Despedida by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Já vou embora
I'm leaving now
Mas sei que vou voltar
But I know I'm coming back
Amor não chora
Love doesn't cry
Se eu volto é pra ficar
If I come back it's to stay
Amor não chora
Love doesn't cry
Que a hora é de deixar
That the time is to leave
Pra sempre ele ficar
Forever he's staying
Eu quis ficar aqui
I wanted to stay here
Mas não podia
But i couldn't
O meu caminho a ti
My way to you
Não conduzia
I didn't drive
Um rei maucoroado
A maucrowned king
Não queria
I didn't want to
O amor em seu reinado
Love in his reign
Pois sabia, não ia ser amado
I wasn't going to be loved
Amor não chora
Love doesn't cry
Eu volto um dia
I'll come back one day
O rei velho e cansado
The old and tired king
Já morria
I was already dying
Perdido em seu reinado
Lost in his reign
Quando eu me despedia
When I said goodbye
No meu canto lhe dizia
In my corner I'd tell you
Did you know?
