Paroles et traduction Silvio Caldas - 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
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

Old Organ Grinder

In that distant neighborhood
Where you lived as a child
Humming melodies
Of unequaled tenderness
An organ grinder would pass
Every afternoon
Passing like a dream
An organ grinder playing

Then you left
The street was sad
Deserted
In the cold and calm afternoon
I can still hear the organ grinder playing

Longing remained
Living with me
You sing happily and the organ grinder
Seems to be crying
Feeling sorry for you
