Verse 1
Porque sou o cavaleiro andante
Because I'm the walking knight
Que mora no teu livro de aventuras
Who lives in your adventure book
Podes vir chorar no meu peito
You can come and cry on my chest
As mágoas e as desventuras
Sorrows and misadventures
Sempre que o vento te ralhe
Whenever the wind scolds you
E a chuva de maio te molhe
And the rain of May wet st
Sempre que o teu barco encalhe
Whenever your boat runs aground
E a vida passe e não te olhe
And life passes and don't look at you
Porque sou o cavaleiro andante
Because I'm the walking knight
Que o teu velho medo inventou
That your old fear invented
Podes vir chorar no meu peito
You can come and cry on my chest
Pois sabes sempre onde estou
Because you always know where I am
Sempre que a rádio diga
Whenever the radio says
Que a américa roubou a lua
That America stole the moon
Ou que um louco te persiga
Or that a madman chases you
E te chame nomes na rua
And call you names on the street
Porque sou o que chega e conta
Because I'm what comes in and counts
Mentiras que te fazem feliz
Lies that make you happy
E tu vibras com histórias
And you vibrate with stories
De viagens que eu nunca fiz
Of trips I've never done
Podes vir chorar no meu peito
You can come and cry on my chest
Longe de tudo o que é mau
Far from all that is evil
Que eu vou estar sempre ao teu lado
That I'll always be there for you
No meu cavalo de pau
On my wooden horse
