Maio Maduro Maio [English translation]

May mellow May

Who painted you

Who broke your spell

Never loved you

The sun was dawning already in the South

And a felucca was

There in Istanbul

Always after the siesta

Calling the flowers

It was festival day

May of loves

It was the day of singing

And a felucca was sailing

In the distance to the shore

May with my friend

Who had given

Always in the month of wheat

If he sings

What matters the fury of the sea

That the voice should not fail you

Let us fight

In a long street

The Shepherd King

Spreading the serum of life

That kills the pain

Come and see, May born

That the voice should not fail you

The crowd broke up.
