Paroles et traduction Eliana Printes - Velho realejo

Velho realejo

Naquele bairro afastado
Onde em criança vivias
A remoer melodias
De uma ternura sem par

Passava todas as tardes
Um realejo risonho
Passava como num sonho o realejo a cantar

Depois tu partiste
Ficou triste a rua deserta
Na tarde fria e calma
Ouço ainda o realejo a tocar

Ficou a saudade comigo a morar
Tu cantas alegre e o realejo parece
Que chora com pena de ti

Old Street Organ

In that distant neighborhood
Where as a child you lived
Digesting melodies
Of unmatched tenderness

Every afternoon would pass by
A cheerful street organ
The street organ would sing as if in a dream

Then you left
The deserted street was sad
On a cold and calm afternoon
I still hear the street organ playing

The longing stayed with me to live
You sing merrily and the street organ seems
To cry with pity for you
