Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Qui Nem Giló by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se a gente lembra só por lembrar
If we remember just because we remember
O amor que a gente um dia perdeu
The love we've lost one day
Saudade inté que assim é bom
Saudade inté that so is good
Pro cabra se convencer
For the goat to convince himself
Que é feliz sem saber
Who is happy without knowing
Pois não sofreu
For he did not suffer
Porém se a gente vive a sonhar
But if we live to dream
Com alguém que se deseja rever
With someone you want to review
Saudade, entonce, aí é ruim
Saudade, entonce, that's bad
Eu tiro isso por mim
I take it off for me
Que vivo doido a sofrer
That I'm crazy to suffer
Ai quem me dera voltar
I wish I could come back
Pros braços do meu xodó
For the arms of my xodó
Saudade assim faz roer
Saudade like that makes you gnawe
E amarga qui nem jiló
And bitter qui nor jiló
Mas ninguém pode dizer
But no one can say
Que me viu triste a chorar
Who saw me sad to cry
Saudade, o meu remédio é cantar
I miss, my medicine is to sing
