Nestes versos tão singelos
In these simple verses
Minha bela, meu amor
My beauty, my love
Pra você quero contar
For you I want to tell you
O meu sofrer e a minha dor
My suffering and my pain
Eu sou como um sabiá
I'm like a thrush
Quando canta é só tristeza
When you sing it's just sadness
Desde o galho onde ele está
From the branch where he is
Nesta viola eu canto e gemo de verdade
In this viola I sing and moan for real
Cada toada representa uma saudade
Each toada represents a longing
Eu nasci naquela serra
I was born in that mountain range
Num ranchinho beira-chão
In a little ranch by the ground
Todo cheio de buracos
All full of holes
Onde a lua faz clarão
Where the moon makes a flash
Quando chega a madrugada
When dawn comes
Lá no mato a passarada
There in the bush the passed
Principia um barulhão
Prince a noise
Nesta viola, canto e gemo de verdade
In this viola, i'm singing and i'm really
Cada toada representa uma saudade
Each toada represents a longing
Lá no mato tudo é triste
Back in the woods everything is sad
Desde o jeito de falar
From the way you talk
Pois o jeca quando canta
For the jeca when he sings
Dá vontade de chorar
Makes you want to cry
E o choro que vai caindo
And the crying that's falling
Devagar vai-se sumindo
Slowly disappears
Como as águas vão pro mar
How the waters go to the sea
Nesta viola, canto e gemo de verdade
In this viola, i'm singing and i'm really
Cada toada representa uma saudade
Each toada represents a longing
Eu sou como um sabiá
I'm like a thrush
Quando canta é só tristeza
When you sing it's just sadness
Desde o galho onde ele está
From the branch where he is
