Paroles et traduction Chico César - Moer Cana

Moer Cana

De longe escuto o gemido da usina
Adeus, menina do meu padecer
Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Sobra bagaço nesse meu viver

Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Sobra bagaço nesse meu viver

Desde anteontem o relógio silencia
Pinga na pia o choro de quem é só
Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Era madeira, cupim roeu deixou pó

Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Era madeira, cupim roeu deixou pó

Adeus, meu povo, Pernambuco e Paraíba
Vim nessa vida pra dizer adeus
Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Sol dai a luz, clareia os olhos meus

Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Sol dai a luz, clareia os olhos meus

Em fogo morto vai o afago da saudade
Nem a metade do que queimou, queima mais
Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Range a ferrugem e o mel do chorume cai

Moer a cana dói, tirar a gema
Range a ferrugem e o mel do chorume cai

Moer Cana

Far away I hear the cry of the factory
My dear, I bid you farewell
Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Bagasse remains in this life of mine

Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Bagasse remains in this life of mine

For two days now the clock has been silent
The sound of tears falling into the sink
Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
I was timber, and termites ate me away to dust

Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
I was timber, and termites ate me away to dust

Farewell, my people, Pernambuco and Paraíba
I came into this world to say goodbye
Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Sun, give light, brighten my eyes

Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Sun, give light, brighten my eyes

In extinguished fire, the embrace of longing
Not even half of what burned burns anymore
Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Rust creaks and the honey of the ooze falls

Crushing cane is painful, extracting the essence
Rust creaks and the honey of the ooze falls
