No Rancho Fundo

In the Deep Ranch

No Rancho Fundo

On the deep ranchNo rancho fundo
Far beyond the end of the worldBem pra lá do fim do mundo
Where the pain and longingOnde a dor e a saudade
They tell things about the cityContam coisas da cidade

On the deep ranchNo rancho fundo
With a sad and deep lookDe olhar triste e profundo
A dark-skinned man sings about his sorrowsUm moreno canta as mágoas
Having watery eyesTendo os olhos rasos d'água

Poor brunettePobre moreno
That afternoon in the sereneQue de tarde no sereno
Wait for the moon in the yardEspera a Lua no terreiro
Having a cigarette for a companionTendo um cigarro por companheiro

Without a waveSem um aceno
He picks up the guitarEle pega na viola
And the moon for almsE a Lua por esmola
Come to this brunette's backyardVem pro quintal desse moreno

On the deep ranchNo rancho fundo
Far beyond the end of the worldBem pra lá do fim do mundo
There was never more joyNunca mais houve alegria
Neither night nor dayNem de noite, nem de dia

The grovesOs arvoredos
They no longer tell secretsJá não contam mais segredos
And the last palm treeE a última palmeira
Already died in the mountain rangeJá morreu na cordilheira

The little birdsOs passarinhos
They hibernated in their nestsHibernaram-se nos ninhos
This sadness is so sadDe tão triste esta tristeza
Fills nature with darknessEnche de trevas a natureza

All becauseTudo porque
Just because of the brunetteSó por causa do moreno
What was big, today is smallQue era grande, hoje é pequeno
To a thatched housePra uma casa de sapê
