Paroles et traduction Zeca Baleiro - NA QUITANDA

NA QUITANDA

Na quitanda tava eu ouvindo Miriam Makeba
Uma canção antiga

Na quitanda chorei eu ouvindo aquela cantiga
De saudade doída

Tinha ido eu na quitanda
Comprar cana fumo comida
Nego forro nessa quimbanda
Escravo da dor dessa vida

AT THE MARKET STALL

At the market stall I listened to Miriam Makeba
An old song

At the market stall I cried listening to that song
Full of painful longing

I had gone to the market stall
To buy sugarcane, tobacco, food
I, a black man, lost in this chaos
A slave to the pain of life
