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

Já passaram dois anos e tal

Two years have passed and some

E do Xico nem sinal

And from Xico, not a sign

Há quem diga que emigrou

Some say he emigrated

Há quem diga que encontrou

Some say he found

Uma brasileira que não está nada mal

A Brazilian who is not bad at all

E a Dolores todos os dias o espera

And Dolores waits for him every day

Com a sopa ao lume e o prato do costume

With the soup on the stove and the usual dish

Finge não ouvir a vizinhança

She pretends not to hear the neighbors

E pede a Deus um pouco mais de esperança

And asks God for a little more hope

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Onde te foste meter?

Where did you get yourself into?

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Xico

Não me faças mais sofrer

Don't make me suffer anymore

Desde pequena Dolores sonha em encontrar

Since she was little, Dolores dreams of finding

Um português com olhos cor de mar

A Portuguese man with sea-colored eyes

Ninguém entendia o porquê da maluqueira

No one understood why the craziness

Que tinha pelo outro lado da fronteira

She had for the other side of the border

Conheceu o Xico em Almerimar

She met Xico in Almerimar

E logo ali decidiram casar

And right there they decided to marry

Dolores levou o essencial

Dolores took the essentials

A velha caixa de costura e o avental

The old sewing box and the apron

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Onde te foste meter?

Where did you get yourself into?

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Xico

Não me faças mais sofrer

Don't make me suffer anymore

Viveram dez anos sem igual

They lived ten unmatched years

Ninguém previa tal final

No one foresaw such an ending

Agora diz Dolores com lamento

Now Dolores says with regret

'De Espanha nem bom vento nem bom casamento'

'From Spain, neither good wind nor good marriage'

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Onde te foste meter?

Where did you get yourself into?

Ó Xico

Oh Xico

Mi chico

Não me faças mais

Don't make me

No me hagas más

Don't make me

Não me faças mais sofrer

Don't make me suffer anymore
