O Rapaz da Camisola Verde

The Boy in the Green Sweater

O Rapaz da Camisola Verde

With hands in pockets and a distant look,De mãos nos bolso e de olhar distante,
Like a sailor or a soldier,Jeito de marinheiro ou de soldado,
He was a boy in a green sweater,Era um rapaz de camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.

I asked him who he was and he told mePerguntei-lhe quem era e ele me disse
'I'm from the mountain, Sir, and your servant'."Sou do monte, Senhor, e um seu criado".
Poor boy in a green sweater,Pobre rapaz de camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.

Why do dark thoughts assail me?Porque me assaltam turvos pensamentos?
In front of me stood a condemned man.Na minha frente estava um condenado.
Go away, boy in the green sweater,Vai-te, rapaz da camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.

Listening to me, the proud lad remained,Ouvindo-me, quedou-se altivo moço,
Indifferent to the rage of my cry,Indiferente à raiva do meu brado,
And there he stood in a green sweater,E ali ficou de camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.

I later learned that he had been lost there,Soube depois ali que se perdera
He who only I could have saved.Esse que só eu pudera ter salvado.
Oh, the boy in the green sweater,Ai do rapaz da camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Oh, the boy in the green sweater,Ai do rapaz da camisola verde,
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
Black lock in the wind,Negra madeixa ao vento,
Marine beret by his side.Boina maruja ao lado.
