Naquela Mesa

At That Table

Naquela Mesa

At that table, he always satNaquela mesa ele sentava sempre
And he always told me, what it means to live better,E me dizia sempre, o que é viver melhor,
At that table, he shared storiesNaquela mesa ele contava estórias
That today in my memory I keep and know by heart.Que hoje na memoria eu guardo e sei de cor
At that table, he gathered people and happily sharedNaquela mesa ele juntava gente e contava contente
What he did in the morning.O que fez de manhã
And in his eyes, there was so much shineE nos seus olhos era tanto brilho
That more than being his son, I became his fan.Que mais que seu filho, eu fiquei seu fã

I didn’t know it hurt this muchEu não sabia que doía tanto
A table in the corner, a house, and a garden.Uma mesa no canto, uma casa e um jardim
If I had known how much life hurtsSe eu soubesse o quanto doi a vida
This painful ache wouldn’t hurt like this.Essa dor tão doída não doía assim
Now there’s just a table in the living roomAgora resta uma mesa na sala
And today no one talks about his mandolin anymore.E hoje ninguem mais fala no seu bandolim
At that table, he’s missing, and his absenceNaquela mesa tá faltando ele e a saudade dele
Is hurting me.Tá doendo em mim
