Tristeza do Jeca
Tonico e Tinoco
Jeca's Sadness
In these simple verses
My beauty, my love
For me I want to tell you
My suffering, my pain
I'm like a thrush
That when you sing it's just sadness
From the branch where he is
On this viola I sing and really moan
Each tune represents a longing
I was born in that mountain
In a little ranch on the ground
Everything full of holes
Where the moon shines
When dawn comes
There in the woods the passing
The noise starts
On this viola I sing and really moan
Each tune represents a longing
And the crying that falls
Slowly it disappears
How the water goes to the sea
