On The Day That I Went Away

Sung by: Elis Regina

Portugu�s

English

No dia em que eu vim-me embora minha m�e chorava em ai

On the day that I went away, my mother was crying over there

Minha irm� chorava em ai e eu nem olhava pra tr�s

My sister was crying over there, yet I was not looking back

No dia que eu vim-me embora n�o teve nada de mais

On the day that I went away, I didn�t have anything

Mala de couro forrada com pano forte brim c�qui

Leather suitcase cover with a strong cloth binding.

Minha av� j� quase morta, minha m�e at� a porta

My grandmother already almost dead, my mother as far as the door

Minha irm� at� a rua e at� o porto o meu pai

My sister as far as the street, and as far as the door my father

O qual n�o disse palavra durante todo o caminho

Which word didn�t I say all on the while on the road?

E quando eu me vi sozinha, vi que n�o entendia nada

And when I myself saw the loneliness, I saw that I didn�t understand anything.

Nem de pro que eu ia indo nem dos sonhos que eu sonhava

Neither that I am going to leave, nor the dreams I dreamed

Senti apenas que a mala de couro que eu carregava

I feel only that leather suitcase I�m carrying.

Embora estando forrada fedia, cheirava mal

Although I am in a stinking cover, smelling bad

Afora isso ia indo atravessando, do seguindo

In this I am going to go, traveling, following

Nem chorando nem sorrindo sozinha pra Capital

Neither crying nor smiling, alone to the Capital

Nem chorando nem sorrindo sozinha pra Capital

Neither crying nor smiling, alone to the Capital

Sozinha pra Capital

Alone to the Capital

Sozinha pra Capital

Alone to the Capital

Sozinha pra Capital

Alone to the Capital
