Tristeza do Jeca
Tonico e Tinoco
Jeca's Sadness
In these verses so simple
My beautiful, my love
I want to tell you
My suffering and my pain
I am like the sabiá
When it sings, it's only sadness
From the branch where it is
In this guitar I sing and moan truly
Each tune represents a longing
I was born in that mountain
In a little house by the ground
All full of holes
Where the Moon shines
When dawn comes
There in the woods the birds
Begin a commotion
In this guitar I sing and moan truly
Each tune represents a longing
I'll stop with my guitar, I can't sing anymore
Because when Jeca sings, he feels like crying
The tears that keep falling
Slowly fade away, like the waters go to the sea
In this guitar I sing and moan truly
Each tune represents a longing
