These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Os que foram embora esta tarde
The ones who left this afternoon
Já nem esperam pela ceifa do trigo
They don't even wait for the harvest of wheat
Quando a minha vez chegar
When my turn comes
Não vou levar nada comigo
I'm not taking anything with me
Este ano depois da vindima
This year after the harvest
Nos dias das primeiras chuvas
In the days of the first rains
Os velhos vão ficar sozinhos
The old people will be alone
A ouvir fermentar as uvas
Listening to the grapes ferment
O rio vai voltar a encher
The river will fill up again
De novo vai entrar pela aldeia
Again you're going to enter the village
Mas eu não estarei cá p'ra ver
But I won't be here to see
O regresso certo da cheia
The right return from the flood
Na cidade o rio é o mesmo
In the city the river is the same
Mas tem faróis e petroleiros
But it has headlights and oil tankers
E os guindastes despejam nos molhes
And cranes dump on the watergrinds
Os caixotes dos cargueiros
The crate of the freighters
O rio encheu as redes dos velhos
The river filled the nets of the old
Mas eu não aprendi a pescar
But I didn't learn to fish
E na cidade há avenidas
And in the city there are avenues
Que vão direitas ao mar
That go straight to the sea
O rio vai voltar a encher
The river will fill up again
De novo vai entrar pela aldeia
Again you're going to enter the village
Mas eu não estarei cá para ver
But I won't be here to see
O regresso certo da cheia
The right return from the flood
O rio vai voltar a encher
The river will fill up again
De novo vai entrar pela aldeia
Again you're going to enter the village
Mas eu não estarei cá para ver
But I won't be here to see
O regresso certo da cheia
The right return from the flood
