Текст и перевод песни Frei Hermano da Câmara - O rapaz da camisola verde

O rapaz da camisola verde

De mãos nos bolso e de olhar distante
Jeito de marinheiro ou de soldado
Era um rapaz de camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

Perguntei-lhe quem era e ele disse
Sou do monte, senhor, e um seu criado
Pobre rapaz de camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

Porque me assaltam turvos pensamentos?
Na minha frente estava um condenado
Vai-te rapaz da camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

Ouvindo-me, quedou-se altivo o moço
Indiferente à raiva do meu brado
E ali ficou de camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

Soube depois ali que se perdera
Esse que só eu pudera ter salvado
Ai do rapaz da camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

Ai do rapaz da camisola verde
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado
Negra madeixa ao vento, boina maruja ao lado

The Boy in the Green Sweater

Hands in his pockets and a distant gaze
Manner of a sailor or soldier
He was a boy in a green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side

I asked him who he was and he said
I'm from the mountain, sir, and your servant
Poor boy in a green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side

Why do cloudy thoughts assail me?
Before me stood a condemned man
Go away boy in the green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side

Hearing me, the boy stood up proudly
Indifferent to the anger in my voice
And there he stood in a green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side

Later I learned that he was lost
He whom I alone could have saved
Alas for the boy in the green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side

Alas for the boy in the green sweater
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
Black hair blowing in the wind, a sailor's cap on the side
