Romaria Lyrics in English Elis Regina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Romaria by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
É de sonho e de pó
It's of dreams and dust
O destino de um só
The fate of just one
Feito eu perdido em pensamentos
Like me, lost in thoughts
Sobre o meu cavalo
On my horse
É de laço e de nó
It's of lasso and knot
De gibeira ou jiló
Of saddlebag or jiló
Dessa vida cumprida a sol
Of this life lived under the sun
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
Senhora de Aparecida
Our Lady of Aparecida
Ilumina a mina escura
Illuminate the dark mine
E funda o trem da minha vida
And start the train of my life
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
Senhora de Aparecida
Our Lady of Aparecida
Ilumina a mina escura
Illuminate the dark mine
E funda o trem da minha vida
And start the train of my life
O meu pai foi peão
My father was a laborer
Minha mãe, solidão
My mother, solitude
Meus irmãos perderam-se na vida
My siblings got lost in life
A custa de aventuras
At the cost of adventures
Descasei, joguei
I divorced, I gambled
Investi, desisti
I invested, I gave up
Se há sorte eu não sei, nunca vi
If there's luck, I don't know, I've never seen it
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
Senhora de Aparecida
Our Lady of Aparecida
Ilumina a mina escura
Illuminate the dark mine
E funda o trem da minha vida
And start the train of my life
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
Senhora de Aparecida
Our Lady of Aparecida
Ilumina a mina escura
Illuminate the dark mine
E funda o trem da minha vida
And start the train of my life
Me disseram, porém
They told me, however
Que eu viesse aqui
That I should come here
Pra pedir de romaria e prece
To ask with pilgrimage and prayer
Paz nos desaventos
Peace in my misfortunes
Como eu não sei rezar
Since I don't know how to pray
Só queria mostrar
I just wanted to show
Meu olhar, meu olhar, meu olhar
My gaze, my gaze, my gaze
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
Senhora de Aparecida
Our Lady of Aparecida
Ilumina a mina escura
Illuminate the dark mine
E funda o trem da minha vida
And start the train of my life
Sou caipira pirapora nossa
I'm a country bumpkin from Pirapora, oh my
