Sapato Velho Lyrics in English Roupa Nova
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sapato Velho by Roupa Nova from Portuguese to English.
Você lembra, lembra
You remember, remember
Daquele tempo
Of that time
Eu tinha estrelas nos olhos
I had stars in my eyes
Um jeito de herói
A hero's way
Era mais forte e veloz
I was stronger and faster
Que qualquer mocinho de cowboy
Than any cowboy hero
Você lembra, lembra
You remember, remember
Que eu costumava andar
That I used to walk
Bem mais de mil léguas pra poder buscar
Well over a thousand leagues to fetch
Flores-de-maio azuis
Blue Mayflowers
E os seus cabelos enfeitar
And adorn your hair
Água da fonte cansei de beber
I got tired of drinking spring water
Pra não envelhecer
To not grow old
Como quisesse roubar da manhã
As if I wanted to steal from the morning
Um lindo pôr-de-sol
A beautiful sunset
Hoje não colho mais as flores-de-maio
Today I no longer pick the Mayflowers
Nem sou mais veloz como os heróis
Nor am I as fast as the heroes
É talvez eu seja
Well, maybe I am
Simplesmente como um sapato velho
Simply like an old shoe
Mas ainda sirvo se você quiser
But I'm still useful if you want
Basta você me calçar
You just need to put me on
Que eu aqueço o frio dos seus pés
And I'll warm the cold of your feet
Água da fonte cansei de beber
I got tired of drinking spring water
Pra não envelhecer
To not grow old
Como quisesse roubar da manhã
As if I wanted to steal from the morning
Um lindo pôr-de-sol
A beautiful sunset
Hoje não colho mais as flores-de-maio
Today I no longer pick the Mayflowers
Nem sou mais veloz como os heróis
Nor am I as fast as the heroes
É talvez eu seja
Well, maybe I am
Simplesmente como um sapato velho
Simply like an old shoe
Mas ainda sirvo se você quiser
But I'm still useful if you want
Basta você me calçar
You just need to put me on
Que eu aqueço o frio dos seus pés
And I'll warm the cold of your feet
Talvez eu seja simplesmente
Maybe I'm simply
Como um sapato velho
Like an old shoe
Mas ainda sirvo se você quiser
But I'm still useful if you want
Basta você me calçar
You just need to put me on
Que eu aqueço o frio dos seus pés
And I'll warm the cold of your feet

léguas — leagues
Léguas translates to "leagues," an old unit of distance. It's an interesting and somewhat archaic word that evokes a sense of epic journeys and storytelling, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.
In the song, the singer reminisces about walking "mil léguas" (a thousand leagues) to find flowers for his beloved. This hyperbolic use emphasizes the great effort and devotion he once had, painting a vivid picture of youthful, boundless love and determination.
