Amor e Saudade
Tião Carreiro e Pardinho
Love and Longing
I passed through your land, it was already dawn
The lights on your street were almost off
I spent hours reminiscing about our past life
From the time of our love that ended up in nothing
Your sad little house was all closed up
And on the porch clothes were hanging
Among them, I recognized your yellow blouse
My longing increased, oh, bitter life
In the time we loved each other, I walked a lot
I would arrive at your house even at a late hour
You in a black coat would come all in love
There we would embrace without anyone seeing
But in the world everything passes, fate is predestined
You married another, I continued my journey
I left you waving at me at the curve of the road
Goodbye, cheerful country girl, fragrant white rose
