Chora, Minha Viola Lyrics in English by Tonico e Tinoco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chora, Minha Viola by Tonico e Tinoco from Portuguese to English.
Nestes verso tão singelo
In these verse so simple
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 sô que nem sabiá
I'm just not even a thrush
Quando canta é só tristeza
When you sing it's just sadness
Desde um galho onde ele está
From a 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 on the floor
Todo cheio de buraco
All full of hole
Onde a lua faz clarão
Where the moon makes a flash
Quando chega a madrugada
When dawn comes
Lá na mata a passarada
There in the woods the passed
Principía um barulhão
First a noise
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
Vou parar cua minha viola já não posso mais cantar
I'm going to stop my viola i can't sing anymore
Pois um jeca quando canta têm vontade de chorar
For a jeca when you sing have to cry
O choro que vai caindo
The crying that is falling
Devagar vai se sumindo
Slowly disappears
Como as água vão pro mar
How water goes to sea
