Cantar Alentejano
Chamava-se Catarina
O Alentejo a viu nascer
Serranas viram-na em vida
Baleizao a viu morrer
Ceifeiras na manha fria
Flores na campa lhe vao pôr
Ficou vermelha a campina
Do sangue que entao brotou
Acalma o furor campina
Que o teu pranto nao findou
Quem viu morrer Catarina
Nao perdoa a quem matou
Aquela pomba tao branca
Todos a querem p'ra si
O Alentejo queimado
Ninguém se lembra de ti
Aquela andorinha negra
Bate as asas p'ra voar
O Alentejo esquecido
Inda um dia hás-de cantar
Alentejo Singing
She was called Catarina
Alentejo saw her born
Serranas saw her in life
Baleizao saw her die
Reapers in the cold morning
Flowers on the grave they will put
The field turned red
From the blood that then flowed
Calm down, field
Your weeping has not ended
Who saw Catarina die
Does not forgive those who killed
That dove so white
Everyone wants her for themselves
The burnt Alentejo
No one remembers you
That black swallow
Flaps its wings to fly
The forgotten Alentejo
One day you will sing
