A Morriña

Homesickness

A Morriña

I'm homesickEu teño morriña
I want to go backEu quero volver
To my landA minha terra
That saw me born.Que me viu nacer.

I'm homesickEu teño morriña
I want to go backEu quero volver
Waiter, another glassCamareiro outro vaso
Of Irish coffee.De licor café.

Listen, boy,Escoita rapaz,
And who are you?E ti de quen eres?
Ask the old ladyPregunta a vella
To the kid who drinks.Ó neno que bebe.
Without thorns in the streetSen catos na rúa
A cow's dungUnha bosta na vaca
The night has comeA noite chegou
I'm not hungoverNon teño resaca
Not yet.Ainda non.

Neither moonshine, nor wineNin augardente, nin viño
Nor Albariño, nor teaNin albariño, nin té
Nor cow in the cornfield,Nin vaca no millo,
Nor shoe on the footNin zapato no pé
Just along the waySolo polo camiño
My feet burningArdendome os pes
And drowning sorrowsE afogando as penas
With my Irish coffee.Có meu licor café.

I'm homesickEu teño morriña
I want to go backEu quero volver
To my landA minha terra
That saw me born.Que me viu nacer.
I'm homesickEu teño morriña
I want to go backEu quero volver
Waiter, another glassCamareiro outro vaso
Of Irish coffee.De licor café.
