Pedaço De Chão Lyrics in English Paula Fernandes , Almir Sater
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pedaço De Chão by Paula Fernandes from Portuguese to English.
Pensamento distante no meio da noite
A distant thought in the middle of the night
Me peguei outro dia
I found myself the other day
Revendo o passado
Reliving the past
Escrevi meu lamento nessa melodia
I wrote my sorrow in this melody
Lembrei das cantigas que em noites de lua
I remembered the songs that on moonlit nights
Minha mãe fazia
My mother used to sing
E a casa cheia de voz e alegria
And the house full of voices and joy
Hoje está vazia
Today it's empty
E saudade bondosa maldade
And saudade, kind malice
Que machuca e me faz cantar
That hurts and makes me sing
De volta ao passado
Back to the past
Sinto teu beijo
I feel your kiss
A canção e o luar
The song and the moonlight
Naquela casinha eu era menina
In that little house I was a girl
Meu mundo gigante um pedaço de chão
My giant world, a patch of ground
Naquele ranchinho que era o nosso ninho
In that little shack that was our nest
Vivia eu, minha mãe, meus irmãos
Lived I, my mother, my siblings
Contando estrelas sonhava em tê-las na palma da mão
Counting stars, I dreamed of having them in the palm of my hand
Naquela casinha eu era menina
In that little house I was a girl
Meu mundo gigante um pedaço de chão
My giant world, a patch of ground
Naquele ranchinho que era o nosso ninho
In that little shack that was our nest
Vivia eu, minha mãe, meus irmãos
Lived I, my mother, my siblings
Contando estrelas sonhava em tê-las na palma da mão
Counting stars, I dreamed of having them in the palm of my hand
Contando estrelas sonhava em tê-las na palma da mão
Counting stars, I dreamed of having them in the palm of my hand
Contando estrelas ai que saudade pedaço de chão
Counting stars, oh what longing, patch of ground
