Coração Vagabundo Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coração Vagabundo by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Meu coração não se cansa
My heart doesn't tire
De ter esperança
Of having hope
De um día ser tudo o que quer
To one day be everything it wants
Meu coração de criança
My child's heart
Não é só a lembrança
It's not just the memory
De um vulto feliz de mulher
Of a happy woman's figure
Que passou por meu sonho sem dizer adeus
That passed through my dream without saying goodbye
E fez dos olhos meus um chorar mais sem fim
And made my eyes weep without end
Meu coração vagabundo
My wandering heart
Quer guardar o mundo em mim
Wants to hold the world in me

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vagabundo — wandering / vagabond
Vagabundo literally translates to "vagabond" or "tramp," but in this song, it's used to describe a "wandering heart." It evokes a sense of restlessness and a desire for freedom.
Caetano Veloso uses this word to personify his heart as a wanderer, always seeking and wanting to "guardar o mundo em mim" (keep the world within me). This poetic usage gives the word a romantic and introspective quality, making it much more profound than its literal translation.
