A volta do boemio [English translation]

Oh Bohemian life, here you have me back again

And I beseech thee my new subscription.

I've returned to see the friends that once

I left behind crying of joy; my guitar follows me.

Oh Bohemian life, knowing that I have been far,

I know that these chatterers are now going to ironise:

"He's back! The bohemian is back once again.

He departed from here so joyful. For what reason would he want to be back?"

What happens is that the woman who flourished my paths

With tenderness, meekness and chariness, being the life of my heart,

Comprehended and hugged me saying as she smiled:

"My love, you can depart, but don't forget your guitar.

Go and see your rivers, your hills, and cascades.

Go and dream in new serenades and hug your loyal friends.

Go away, because there is left for me console and joy

From knowing that right after the bohemian life

I am the one who you love the most."
