Velho Realejo - Jair Rodrigues traduction en anglais

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
Um realejo a cantar

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

Ficou a saudade
Comigo a morar
Tu cantas alegre e o realejo
Parece que chora com pena de ti

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

Ficou a saudade
Comigo a morar
Tu cantas alegre e o realejo
Parece que chora com pena de ti

Old Barrel Organ

In that distant neighborhood
Where you used to live as a child
Chewing on melodies
Of an unparalleled tenderness

Every afternoon, a barrel organ
A laughing barrel organ
Would pass by as if in a dream
A barrel organ singing

Then you left
The deserted street grew sad
On that cold and still afternoon
I still hear the barrel organ playing

I have been left with the longing
To live with me
You sing cheerfully, and the barrel organ
Seems to cry out of pity for you

Then you left
The deserted street grew sad
On that cold and still afternoon
I still hear the barrel organ playing

I have been left with the longing
To live with me
You sing cheerfully, and the barrel organ
Seems to cry out of pity for you
