These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ainda me lembro com clareza
I still remember clearly
O que mainha me ensinou
What mainha taught me
A respeitar a natureza
Respecting nature
Pela fartura sobre a mesa agradecer ao criador
For the plenty on the table thank the creator
Sempre andar num bom caminho
Always walk on a good path
Tirar o espinho de uma flor
Take the thorn out of a flower
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
Not to live in dismay
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only give yourself to a great love
Pra dar e receber carinho
To give and receive affection
Pra não viver em desalinho
Not to live in dismay
Só se entregar a um grande amor
Only give yourself to a great love
Encontrei um amor assim
I found a love like that
É tudo o que sonhei pra mim
That's all I dreamed of for myself
Quando entardecer
When dusk
O tempo já passou
Time has passed
A gente nem notou
We didn't even notice
E deixa clarear
And let it lighten
Chegou pra completar
Arrived to complete
Felicidade minha
Happiness mine
Hoje eu sou mainha
Today I'm mainha
Mainha tem razão
Mainha is right
Ainda me lembro com clareza
I still remember clearly
