Trem Das Onze Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso , Maria Gadú

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Trem Das Onze by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Não posso ficar
I can't stay
Nem mais um minuto com você
Not one more minute with you
Sinto muito amor
I'm so sorry, love
Mas não pode ser
But it can't be
Moro em Jaçanã
I live in Jaçanã
Se eu perder esse trem
If I miss this train
Que sai agora às onze horas
That leaves now at eleven o'clock
Só amanhã de manhã
Only tomorrow morning
E além disso mulher
And besides that, woman
Tem outras coisas
There are other things
Minha mãe não dorme
My mother doesn't sleep
Enquanto eu não chegar
While I don't arrive
Sou filho único
I'm an only child
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
I have my house to look after
Sou filho único
I'm an only child
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
I have my house to look after
Não posso ficar
I can't stay
Nem mais um minuto com você
Not one more minute with you
Sinto muito amor
I'm so sorry, love
Mas não pode ser
But it can't be
Moro em Jaçanã
I live in Jaçanã
Se eu perder esse trem
If I miss this train
Que sai agora às onze horas
That leaves now at eleven o'clock
Só amanhã de manhã
Only tomorrow morning
Não posso ficar
I can't stay
Nem mais um minuto com você
Not one more minute with you
Sinto muito amor
I'm so sorry, love
Mas não pode ser
But it can't be
Moro em Jaçanã
I live in Jaçanã
Se eu perder esse trem
If I miss this train
Que sai agora às onze horas
That leaves now at eleven o'clock
Só amanhã de manhã
Only tomorrow morning
E além disso mulher
And besides that, woman
Tem outras coisas
There are other things
Minha mãe não dorme
My mother doesn't sleep
Enquanto eu não chegar
While I don't arrive
Sou filho único
I'm an only child
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
I have my house to look after
Sou filho único
I'm an only child
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
I have my house to look after

Jaçanã — Jaçanã (a district in São Paulo)

Jaçanã is a proper noun, referring to a specific district in São Paulo, Brazil. It's not a common word you'd find in many songs, making it unique and intriguing.

In the song, the singer uses Jaçanã to explain why he must leave: he lives there and needs to catch the last train home. This specific geographical reference grounds the song in a particular cultural context, adding a layer of authenticity and local flavor that learners will find interesting.
