Velhas pedras que piseiSaiam da vossa mudezVenham dizer o que seiVenham falar PortuguesSejam duras como a leiE puras como a nudez.
Minha lagrima salgadaCaiu no lenco da vidaFoi lembranca naufragadaE para sempre perdidaFoi vaga despedacadaContra o cais da despedida.
Visitei tantos paisesConheci tanto luarNos olhos dos infelizesE porque me hei-de gastar?Vou ao fundo das raizesE hei-de gastar-me a cantar.
Old stones I've bruisedLeave your silenceCome tell what I knowCome speak PortuguesBe it as hard as the lawAnd as pure as nudity.
My salty tearFell onto the handkerchief of lifeIt was a wrecked remembranceAnd forever lostIt was a shattered waveAgainst the pier of farewell.
I've visited many countriesI've known many moonlightsIn the eyes of the unfortunateAnd because I'll be spent?I go to the depth to the rootsAnd I will expend myself singing.
