Trago Alentejo Na Voz

I Bring Alentejo in My Voice

Trago Alentejo Na Voz

I bring Alentejo in my voiceTrago alentejo na voz
From the singing of my peopleDo cantar da minha gente
Oh rivers of us allAi rios de todos nós
That you get lost in the currentQue te perdes na corrente
Oh rivers of us allAi rios de todos nós
That you get lost in the currentQue te perdes na corrente
Oh dreamy plainsAi planícies sonhadas
Oh feel of olive grovesAi sentir de olivais
Oh winds at dawnAi ventos na madrugada
That transcend me too muchQue me transcendem demais
There winds at dawnAí ventos na madrugada
That transcend me too muchQue me transcendem demais

Friends, friendsAmigos, amigos
Poppies in the wheatPapoilas no trigo
Only there do I have themSó lá eu as tenho
And arm in arm with you by my sideE de braço dado contigo a meu lado
That's where I come fromÉ de lá que eu venho
And arm in armE de braço dado
Singing to loveCantando ao amor
We keep the cattle, poppies in bloomGuardamos o gado, papoilas em flor
That the wind in a cryQue o vento num brado
Cools the heatRefresca o calor
And arm in arm, with you by my sideE de braço dado, contigo a meu lado
We sing about loveCantamos o amor

Oh flocks of longingAi rebanhos de saudades
That I left in those mountainsQue deixei naqueles montes
Oh shepherds of anxietyAi pastores de ansiedade
Drinking water from the fountainsBebendo água nas fontes
Oh shepherds of anxietiesAi pastores de ansiedades
Drinking water from the fountainsBebendo água nas fontes
Oh thirst for hot afternoonsAi sede das tardes quentes
Oh memory that reaches meAi lembrança que me alcança
Oh land full of peopleAi terra prenhe de gente
In the eyes of a childNos olhos duma criança
Oh land pregnant with peopleAi terra prenha de gente
In the eyes of a childNos olhos duma criança
