Chuá Chuá

Chua Chua

Chuá Chuá

Let the beautiful city, brown-skinnedDeixa a cidade formosa morena
Lovely little one, return to the backcountryLinda pequena e volte ao sertão
Drink from the spring that singsBeber a água da fonte que canta
And rises up from the groundE se levanta no meio do chão

If you were born a fragrant mixed girlSe tu nasceste cabocla cheirosa
Smelling like roses in the heart of the earthCheirando a rosa no peito da terra
Return to the peaceful life of the farmVolta pra vida serena da roça
To the old hut on the mountainDa velha palhoça do alto da serra

And the spring sings chua, chuaE a fonte a cantar chuá, chuá
And the water flows chue, chueE a água a correr chuê, chuê
It seems like someone so full of sorrowParece que alguém tão cheio de mágoa
Left behind those who will speak of longingDeixasse quem há de dizer a saudade
Amidst the rolling waters as wellNo meio das águas rolando também

The gentle moon with silver lightA Lua branda de luz prateada
Makes its journey high in the skyFaz a jornada no alto dos céus
As if it were a lofty shadowComo se fosse uma sombra altaneira
From the waterfall making a ruckusDa cachoeira fazendo escarcéu

When that light up in the distant heightQuando essa luz lá na altura distante
Blonde, panting as it sets in the westLoira, ofegante no poente a cair
Give me that verse that the pine revealsDá-me essa trova que o pinho descerra
So I can return to the mountains, I want to leaveQue eu volto pra serra, que eu quero partir

And the spring sings chua, chuaE a fonte a cantar chuá, chuá
And the water flows chue, chueE água a correr chuê, chuê
It seems like someone so full of sorrowParece que alguém tão cheio de mágoa
Left behind those who will speak of longingDeixasse quem há de dizer a saudade
Amidst the rolling waters as wellNo meio das águas rolando também
