Xico Lyrics in English Luísa Sobral

Home / Lyrics Translation / Luísa Sobral / Xico

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Xico by Luísa Sobral from Portuguese to English.

Two years have passed and some

And from Xico, not a sign

Some say he emigrated

Some say he found

A Brazilian who is not bad at all

And Dolores waits for him every day

With the soup on the stove and the usual dish

She pretends not to hear the neighbors

And asks God for a little more hope

Oh Xico

Where did you get yourself into?

Oh Xico

Xico

Don't make me suffer anymore

Since she was little, Dolores dreams of finding

A Portuguese man with sea-colored eyes

No one understood why the craziness

She had for the other side of the border

She met Xico in Almerimar

And right there they decided to marry

Dolores took the essentials

The old sewing box and the apron

Oh Xico

Where did you get yourself into?

Oh Xico

Xico

Don't make me suffer anymore

They lived ten unmatched years

No one foresaw such an ending

Now Dolores says with regret

'From Spain, neither good wind nor good marriage'

Oh Xico

Where did you get yourself into?

Oh Xico

Mi chico

Don't make me

Don't make me suffer anymore
