Wanderer's Songs

José Afonso

Cantares de Andarilho

Já fiz recados às bruxas
Do caselho à portelada
Dei-lhes a minha inocência
Elas não me deram nada

Andei à giesta
Ao lírio maninho
Na Bouça da Fresta
No Casal Velido
Erva cidreira
À erva veludo
Na Lomba regueira
No Pinhal do Mudo

Fui andarilho das bruxas
Moço de S. Cipriano
Já fui morto e inda vivo
Vendi a alma ao Diabo

Andei ó licranço
Andei ao lacrau
No Monte do Manso
Na Espera do Mau
Vibra à carocha
Ao corujão cego
Na mata da Tocha
No rio Lágedo

Era donzel e guardei-me
P'ras filhas da feiticeira
Parti-me em meio à loira
Noutra metade à morena

Wanderer's Songs

I’ve sent messages to the witches
From the cabin to the big door
Gave them my innocence
They didn’t give me anything

I wandered through the gorse
By the little lily
In the Fresta Hollow
At the Velido Farm
Lemon balm
To the velvet grass
On the Rego Hill
In the Mute Pine Grove

I was a wanderer of the witches
A boy of St. Cyprian
I’ve been dead and still alive
Sold my soul to the Devil

I wandered, oh little one
I wandered to the scorpion
On the Gentle Hill
In the Wait of the Bad
Vibrates to the bug
To the blind owl
In the Tocha woods
By the Lágedo river

I was a young knight and kept myself
For the daughters of the sorceress
I broke myself in half with the blonde
In the other half with the brunette
