Menina Dos Olhos Tristes

Girl with sad eyes
What makes you cry so much
The little soldier doesn't come back
Across the sea

Lady with tired eyes
Because the loom is tired
The little soldier doesn't come back
Across the sea

Come on, Mr. Thoughtful
Watch the pipe go out
The little soldier doesn't come back
Across the sea

A friend is very sad
A letter made him cry
The little soldier doesn't come back
Across the sea

The moon that is a traveler
You can inform us
The little soldier is coming back
Across the sea

The little soldier is coming back
It's almost here
Comes in a pine box
This time the little soldier
Never go to sea again
