Pomba Branca

White Dove

Pomba Branca

White dove, white dovePomba branca, pomba branca
I've already lost your flightJá perdi o teu voar
In that distant landNaquela terra distante
All covered by the seaToda coberta p'lo mar
White dove, white dovePomba branca, pomba branca
I've already lost your flightJá perdi o teu voar
In that distant landNaquela terra distante
All covered by the seaToda coberta p'lo mar

I was a child and walked barefootFui criança e andei descalço
Because the earth warmed mePorque a terra me aquecia
And my eyes were longE eram longos os meus olhos
When the night fell asleepQuando a noite adormecia
Ships came from countriesVinham barcos dos países
And I smiled at God, I dreamedE eu sorria a deus, sonhei
They brought clothes, happyTraziam roupas, felizes
The children from the countriesAs crianças dos países
In those boats arrivingNesses barcos a chegar

White dove, white dovePomba branca, pomba branca
... ... ...... ... ...

Later on, getting lostDepois mais tarde ao perder-me
Through streets of other citiesPor ruas de outras cidades
I sang my love to the windCantei meu amor ao vento
Because I missedPorque sentia saudades
Missed my placeSaudades do meu lugar
The first love of lifeDo primeiro amor da vida
That moment approachingDesse instante a aproximar
From the fields, from my placeDos campos, do meu lugar
At arrival and departureÀ chegada e à partida

White dove, white dovePomba branca, pomba branca
I've already lost your flightJá perdi o teu voar
In that distant landNaquela terra distante
All covered by the seaToda coberta p'lo mar
