These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Verse 1
Rosa foi pra cidade
Rosa went to town
Maria foi ver o mar
Mary went to see the sea
Joana passou da idade
Joana passed the age
E eu vou vendo a minha rua
And I'm going to see my street
A ver passar
Watching it go
Dona amélia morreu
Dona amelia died
Amadeu desanimou
Amadeu discouraged
Um dia quis ver o céu
One day I wanted to see the sky
Benzeu-se com o chapéu
Blessed with hat
Chorus 1
Da minha rua, eu vejo, ao longe
From my street, I see, in the distance
O catavento da sé
The catavento of the see
E o galo gira ao sabor do vento que vira com a maré
And the rooster spins in the taste of the wind that turns with the tide
Gira pelo próprio pé
Rotates by its own foot
Contra o tempo que gira o relógio da torre da sé
Against time turning the clock of the tower of the see
Verse 2
O gato fugiu da fome
The cat ran away from hunger
O padre deixou-se ficar
The priest let himself be
O café mudou de nome
Coffee changed name
E eu vou vendo a minha rua
And I'm going to see my street
A ver passar
Watching it go
Maria foi ver o mar
Mary went to see the sea
A mãe disse, 'cautela'
Mom said, 'be careful'
Não ouviu, quis-se casar
You didn't hear it, you wanted to get married
Se um dia quiser voltar
If you ever want to come back
Vou estar à janela
I'll be at the window
Chorus 2
Da minha rua, eu vejo, ao longe
From my street, I see, in the distance
O catavento da sé
The catavento of the see
E o galo gira ao sabor do vento que vira com a maré
And the rooster spins in the taste of the wind that turns with the tide
Gira pelo próprio pé
Rotates by its own foot
Contra o tempo que gira o relógio da torre da sé
Against time turning the clock of the tower of the see
Verse 3
Maria foi ver o mar
Mary went to see the sea
A mãe disse, 'cautela'
Mom said, 'be careful'
Não ouviu, quis-se casar
You didn't hear it, you wanted to get married
Se um dia quiser voltar
If you ever want to come back
Vou estar à janela
I'll be at the window
Outro
A ver a minha rua
Watching my street
A ver passar
Watching it go
