| Aquela triste e Ieda madrugada
| That sad and early dawn
|
| Cheia toda de dor e piedade
| Full of pain and pity
|
| Enquanto houver no mundo saudade
| As long as there is nostalgia in the world
|
| Quero que seja sempre celebrada
| I want it to always be celebrated
|
| Ela só quando alegre e marchetada
| She only when happy and inlaid
|
| Saía dando à terra claridade
| I went out giving the earth clarity
|
| Viu apartar-se de uma, outra vontade
| He saw himself departing from one, another will
|
| Que nunca poderá ver-se apartada
| That can never be separated
|
| Ela só viu as lágrimas em fio
| She only saw the tears in thread
|
| Que de um e de outros olhos derivadas
| That from one and other eyes derived
|
| Juntando-se formaram largo rio
| Coming together they formed a wide river
|
| Ela ouviu as palavras magoadas
| She heard the hurt words
|
| Que puderam tornar o fogo frio
| That could make the fire cold
|
| E dar descanso às almas condenadas
| And give rest to damned souls
