These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quem vem e atravessa o rio
Who comes and crosses the river
Junto à serra do pilar
Next to the pillar saw
Vê um velho casario
See an old house
Que se estende ate ao mar
That extends to the sea
Quem te vê ao vir da ponte
Who sees you coming from the bridge
És cascata, são-joanina
You're cascade, sane-joanine
Erigida sobre um monte
Erected on a hill
No meio da neblina
In the middle of the fog
Por ruelas e calçadas
Through alleys and sidewalks
Da ribeira até à foz
From the stream to the mouth
Por pedras sujas e gastas
By dirty and worn stones
E lampiões tristes e sós
And sad, lonely lanterns
E esse teu ar grave e sério
And that serious and serious air of yours
Num rosto de cantaria
On a face of stonework
Que nos oculta o mistério
That hides the mystery from us
Dessa luz bela e sombria
Of this beautiful and gloomy light
Ver-te assim abandonado
To see you abandoned like this
Nesse timbre pardacento
In this brown tone
Nesse teu jeito fechado
In your closed way
De quem mói um sentimento
Of whom grinds a feeling
E é sempre a primeira vez
And it's always the first time
Em cada regresso a casa
On every homecoming
Rever-te nessa altivez
To see you in that haughting
De milhafre ferido na asa
From kite injured on the wings
