Trago Alentejo Na Voz
António Zambujo
I Bring Alentejo in My Voice
I bring Alentejo in my voice
From the singing of my people
Oh rivers of us all
That you get lost in the current
Oh rivers of us all
That you get lost in the current
Oh dreamy plains
Oh feel of olive groves
Oh winds at dawn
That transcend me too much
There winds at dawn
That transcend me too much
Friends, friends
Poppies in the wheat
Only there do I have them
And arm in arm with you by my side
That's where I come from
And arm in arm
Singing to love
We keep the cattle, poppies in bloom
That the wind in a cry
Cools the heat
And arm in arm, with you by my side
We sing about love
Oh flocks of longing
That I left in those mountains
Oh shepherds of anxiety
Drinking water from the fountains
Oh shepherds of anxieties
Drinking water from the fountains
Oh thirst for hot afternoons
Oh memory that reaches me
Oh land full of people
In the eyes of a child
Oh land pregnant with people
In the eyes of a child
