Casinha Branca [English translation]

As it happens, I've been so lonely :

I look and don't even notice

Anything to have some fun with

I feel that growing longing for happiness

I can't see things I imagined in my youth

So many dreams died out

All I wanted in life:

A green lush garden

So I could plant and reap

Have a white lil house with a balcony,

And a yard, and a window

So I could watch the sun rising

On occasion I go for a walk around town

Looking for friendship

I'm with the crowd

But as I look back on every face,

Everyone has their mystery

And suffering, and an illusion

I just wanted to have in life

A place of green bush

To plant and to reap

Have a white lil house with a balcony,

And a yard, and a window

So I could watch the sun rising
