Adeus Papai, Adeus Mamãe

Goodbye daddy, goodbye mommy
Like a bird that leaves the nest where it was born
I leave your arms
To tread step by step
The fate that God gave me

The sad hour has come
For me to go out into the world
But I will carry in my memory
This house where I was born
And where I lived happily
Since childhood

How much mom suffered
To raise her children
That's why I'm leaving
I need to fight with life
To give you, dear mother
More comfort

In this sad moment
I will make a vow
That I will only turn back
If I triumph
But if I fail
I won't return here

I leave a request
For those who ask about me
To all my friends
Tell them I left without saying goodbye
Fearing not to resist
The sad hour of farewell

Take care of my guitar
Companion of solitude
That suffered with me
In moonlit nights
In the nostalgic early mornings
It was my best friend

My serenading canary
That I myself made a prisoner
To listen to him sing
Only after I leave
Open the cage door
And let him fly

Close my police dog
So the poor animal
Doesn't see me leave
Release him the moment
I am far away
So he doesn't follow me

Don't cry daddy, don't cry
I'm not a son who dies
I'm just going to see the world
To see unknown places
But my dear daddy
I won't forget for a second

Don't cry mommy, don't cry
Seeing the tears that flow
On your divine face
I almost lose the courage
To continue this journey
To fulfill my destiny

I know that in foreign lands
Daddy and mommy accompany me
Close to the heart
And whenever night falls
They will say in a prayer
Little son, our blessing

In the cold waves of the wind
I will send my thoughts
To deliver a message from me
And tell my dear mother
I haven't found in this life
Another love like yours

The silent night descends
The dew falls on the roses
The moon rises on the mountain
Mommy, I'm leaving now
And when dawn breaks
I will be in other lands

Goodbye dear land
Where in this life
I had my first dreams
Goodbye mountains and fields
Rivers of crystal clear waters
Goodbye daddy and mommy, goodbye
