No dia em que eu vim-me embora

The day I left

Minha mãe chorava em ai

My mother cried there

Minha irmã chorava em ui

My sister cried in ui

E eu nem olhava pra trás

And I didn't even look back

No dia que eu vim embora

The day I left

Não teve nada de mais

There was nothing more

Mala de couro forrada

Lined leather suitcase

Com pano forte brim cáqui

With strong khaki denim cloth

Minha vó já quase morta

My grandmother is almost dead

Minha mãe até a porta

My mother at the door

Minha irmã até a rua

My sister up the street

E até o porto meu pai

And to the port my father

O qual não disse palavra durante todo o caminho

Who didn't say a word the whole way

E quando eu me vi sozinho

And when I found myself alone

Vi que não entendia nada

I saw that I didn't understand anything

Nem de pro que eu ia indo

I don't even know what I was going for

Nem dos sonhos que eu sonhava

Not even the dreams I dreamed of

Senti apenas que a mala de couro que eu carregava

I only felt that the leather suitcase I was carrying

Embora estando forrada

Even though it is covered

Fedia, cheirava mal

It stank, it smelled bad

Afora isto ia indo

Apart from this it was going

Atravessando, seguindo

Crossing, following

Nem chorando, nem sorrindo

Neither crying nor smiling

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Nem chorando nem sorrindo

Neither crying nor smiling

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital

Sozinho pra capital

Alone to the capital
