Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saudades De Matão by Tonico e Tinoco from Portuguese to English.
Neste mundo, choro a dor
In this world, I cry the pain
Por uma paixão sem fim
For an endless passion
Ninguém conhece a razão
Nobody knows the reason
Porque eu choro num mundo assim
Why do I cry in a world like this
Quando lá no céu surgir
When there appears in the sky
Uma peregrina flor
A pilgrim flower
Pois todos devem saber
Because everyone should know
Que a sorte me tirou, foi uma grande dor
That luck took from me, it was a great pain
Lá no céu, junto a Deus
There in heaven, next to God
Em silêncio, minha alma descansa
In silence my soul rests
E na terra, todos cantam
And on earth, everyone sings
Eu lamento minha desventura desta pobre dor
I regret my misfortune from this poor pain
Lá no céu, junto a Deus
There in heaven, next to God
Em silêncio, minha alma descansa
In silence my soul rests
E na terra, todos cantam
And on earth, everyone sings
Eu lamento minha desventura desta pobre dor
I regret my misfortune from this poor pain
Ninguém me diz
Nobody tells me
Que sofreu tanto assim
Who suffered so much
Essa dor que me consome
This pain that consumes me
Não posso viver
I can't live
Vou partir para bem longe daqui
I'm going to go far away from here
Já que a sorte não quis
Since luck didn't want it
Me fazer feliz
Make me happy
Quando lá no céu surgir
When there appears in the sky
Uma peregrina flor
A pilgrim flower
Pois todos devem saber
Because everyone should know
Que a sorte me tirou, foi uma grande dor
That luck took from me, it was a great pain
