Funeral de Um Lavrador

This grave in which you lie, measured in palmsEsta cova em que estás, com palmos medida
Is the smallest account you took in lifeÉ a conta menor que tiraste em vida
Is the smallest account you took in lifeÉ a conta menor que tiraste em vida
It's a good size, neither wide nor deepÉ de bom tamanho, nem largo, nem fundo
It's the part that belongs to you of this estateÉ a parte que te cabe deste latifúndio
It's the part that belongs to you of this estateÉ a parte que te cabe deste latifúndio

It's not a big grave, it's a measured graveNão é cova grande, é cova medida
It's the land you wanted to see dividedÉ a terra que querias ver dividida
It's the land you wanted to see dividedÉ a terra que querias ver dividida
It's a big grave for your small remainsÉ uma cova grande pra teu pouco defunto
But you'll be more at ease than you were in the worldMas estarás mais ancho que estavas no mundo
You'll be more at ease than you were in the worldEstarás mais ancho que estavas no mundo

It's a big grave for your meager remainsÉ uma cova grande pra teu defunto parco
Yet more than in the world, you'll feel amplePorém mais que no mundo te sentirás largo
Yet more than in the world, you'll feel amplePorém mais que no mundo te sentirás largo
It's a big grave for your scant fleshÉ uma cova grande pra tua carne pouca
But the earth given, does not open its mouthMas a terra dada, não se abre a boca

It's the smallest account you took in lifeÉ a conta menor que tiraste em vida
It's the part that belongs to you of this estateÉ a parte que te cabe deste latifúndio
It's the land you wanted to see dividedÉ a terra que querias ver dividida
You'll be more at ease than you were in the worldEstarás mais ancho que estavas no mundo
But the earth given, does not open its mouthMas a terra dada, não se abre a boca
