O Carro

The Car

O Carro

No one sings in the teaNon canta na chá ninguén
That's why my car singsPor éso, meu carro canta
It sings its axis so wellCanta o seu eixo tan ben
That the truth amazes meQue a señardade me espanta
There is no song so beautifulNon hai canto tan fermoso
Fine as a whistleFino coma un asubío
Although it is, sometimes, nostalgicAnque é, as vegadas, saudoso
It makes a creak in the airFaise no ar rechouchío
My car is hard fleshO meu carro é cerna dura
It knows oak and ashSábese carballo e freixo
How beautiful is its making!Qué fermosa e a sua feitura!
How light is the axis!Qué lixereza a do eixo!
Things are getting closerAs cousas vanse aledando
Wherever my car goesPor onde meu carro pasa
Bring me grass for the cattle!Carrétame herba pro gando!
Bring me the harvest home!Traime a colleita pra casa!
