Lyrics and translation Camané - Quadras soltas




Quadras soltas
Quadras soltas
Junto ao moinho cantando
By the mill singing
Lavam roupa as lavadeiras
Washerwomen wash clothes
Os patos brincam nadando
Ducks play while swimming
Arrulham pombos nas eiras
Pigeons coo on the threshing floors
Os patos brincam nadando
Ducks play while swimming
Arrulham pombos nas eiras
Pigeons coo on the threshing floors
As fontes da minha aldeia
The fountains of my village
Murmuram, gemem em coro
Murmur and moan in chorus
As águas que vão correndo
The waters that flow along
Levam consigo o meu choro
Carry away my tears
As águas que vão correndo
The waters that flow along
Levam consigo o meu choro
Carry away my tears
Às vezes contemplo o moinho
Sometimes I look at the mill
Que além de velho não cai
Which despite being old does not fall
Formado no casalinho
Built on the small house
Que era do pai do meu pai
That belonged to my father's father
Formado no casalinho
Built on the small house
Que era do pai do meu pai
That belonged to my father's father
A luz que brilha no monte
The light shining on the mount
Que triste a vejo daqui
How sadly I see it from here
A luz que brilha no monte
The light shining on the mount
Que triste a vejo daqui
How sadly I see it from here
A luz humilde e pobre
The humble and poor light
Do casalo onde nasci
Of the cottage where I was born
A luz humilde e pobre
The humble and poor light
Do casalo onde nasci
Of the cottage where I was born
Não queiras ir para a cidade
Don't want to go to the city
Deixa-te estar que estás bem
Stay where you are because you are well
Não queiras ir para a cidade
Don't want to go to the city
Deixa-te estar que estás bem
Stay where you are because you are well
Não tens amor à herdade
You have no love for the estate
Onde morreu tua mãe
Where your mother died
Não tens amor à herdade
You have no love for the estate
Onde morreu tua mãe
Where your mother died
Moinho desmantelado
Dismantled mill
Pelo tempo derruído
Ruined over time
Moinho desmantelado
Dismantled mill
Pelo tempo derruído
Ruined over time
Tu representas a dor
You represent the pain
Deste meu peito dorido
Of this aching breast of mine
Tu representas a dor
You represent the pain
Deste meu peito dorido
Of this aching breast of mine
