Subo e desço este rio
I go up and down this river
Da miranda ao areinho
From miranda to air
Sob a torreira e o frio
Under the turret and the cold
Faço a escarpa brotar vinho
I make the escarpment sprout wine
Sonhei que era o mississipi
I dreamt it was mississippi
E que memphis era no pinhão
And that memphis was in the pine nuts
Vindimando ao som de adufe
Vintage to the sound of adufe
Bandolim e acordeão
Mandolin and accordion
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
A dar aos remos no rabelo
Giving to oars in rabelo
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
Sayago paira por cima
Sayago hovers over the top
O sonho vira pesadelo
The dream becomes a nightmare
Vinha eu no meu caíco
I was coming in my fall
A ouvir das águas do douro
Listening to the waters of the douro
Velhas lendas de fronteira
Old frontier legends
Entre o cristão e o mouro
Between the Christian and the Moor
Quando vi um pescador
When I saw a fisherman
Olhando o rio inconsolável
Looking at the inconsolable river
Que é da enguia e do robalo
Which is from eel and sea bass
Da tainha e do sável
Of the little bird and the shad
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
A dar aos remos no rabelo
Giving to oars in rabelo
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
Sayago paira por cima
Sayago hovers over the top
O sonho vira pesadelo
The dream becomes a nightmare
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
A dar aos remos no rabelo
Giving to oars in rabelo
Rio abaixo rio acima
Downstream upstream
Sayago paira por cima
Sayago hovers over the top
O sonho vira pesadelo
The dream becomes a nightmare
