Lyrics and translation Renato Teixeira - No Rancho Fundo (Ao Vivo)




No Rancho Fundo (Ao Vivo)
At the Far End of the Ranch (Live)
No rancho fundo
At the far end of the ranch
Bem pra do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Onde a dor e a saudade
Where pain and longing
Contam coisas da cidade
Tell stories of the city
No rancho fundo
At the far end of the ranch
Bem pra do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Um moreno canta as mágoas
A dark-skinned man sings his sorrows
Tendo os olhos rasos d'água
With tears welling in his eyes
Pobre moreno
Poor dark-skinned man
Que de noite no sereno
Who waits in the cold night
Espera a lua no terreiro
For the moon in the yard
Tendo um cigarro por companheiro
With a cigarette as his companion
Sem um aceno
Without a word
Ele pega na viola
He picks up his guitar
E a lua por esmola
And the moon for a handout
Vem pro quintal desse moreno
Comes to this dark-skinned man's yard
No rancho fundo
At the far end of the ranch
Bem pra do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Nunca mais houve alegria
There was never any more joy
Nem de noite, nem de dia
Neither at night nor during the day
Os arvoredos
The groves
não contam mais segredos
No longer tell secrets
E a última palmeira
And the last palm tree
morreu na cordilheira
Has already died in the mountains
Os passarinhos
The little birds
Internaram-se nos ninhos
Have retreated into their nests
De tão triste, essa tristeza
So sad, this sadness
Cobre de trevas a natureza
Covers nature in darkness
Tudo por que?
Why all this?
por causa do moreno
Just because of the dark-skinned man
Que era grande e hoje é pequeno
Who was great and is now small
Para uma casa de sapê
To a thatched house
Os passarinhos
The little birds
Internaram-se nos ninhos
Have retreated into their nests
De tão triste, essa tristeza
So sad, this sadness
Cobre de trevas a natureza
Covers nature in darkness
Tudo por que?
Why all this?
por causa do moreno
Just because of the dark-skinned man
Que era grande e hoje é pequeno
Who was great and is now small
Para uma casa de sapê
To a thatched house
No rancho fundo
At the far end of the ranch
