Lyrics and translation Almir Sater - Chalana




Chalana
Sailing ship
vai uma chalana
There goes a sailing ship
Bem longe se vai
Far away it goes
Navegando no remanso
Sailing in the backwater
Do Rio Paraguai
Of the Paraguay River
Oh, chalana, sem querer
Oh, sailing ship, without intending to
Tu aumentas minha dor
You increase my pain
Nestas águas tão serenas
In these serene waters
Vai levando meu amor
You're taking away my love
Oh, chalana, sem querer
Oh, sailing ship, without intending to
Tu aumentas minha dor
You increase my pain
Nestas águas tão serenas
In these serene waters
Vai levando meu amor
You're taking away my love
E assim ela se foi
And so she left
Nem de mim se despediu
Without even saying goodbye
A chalana vai sumindo
The sailing ship is disappearing
Na curva do rio
Around the bend in the river
E se ela vai magoada
And if she leaves hurt
Eu bem sei que tem razão
I know she's right
Fui ingrato, eu feri
I was ungrateful, I hurt
O seu pobre coração
Her poor heart
Oh, chalana, sem querer
Oh, sailing ship, without intending to
Tu aumentas minha dor
You increase my pain
Nestas águas tão serenas
In these serene waters
Vai levando meu amor
You're taking away my love
Oh, chalana, sem querer
Oh, sailing ship, without intending to
Tu aumentas minha dor
You increase my pain
Nestas águas tão serenas
In these serene waters
Vai levando meu amor
You're taking away my love
um pedacinho dela
Just a little piece of her
