Ó meu amigo João
Em que terras te perdeste
Se por nada lá morreste
Meu amigo, meu irmão
De nascença duvidosa / Proíbiram a tua infãncia
Transformaram-te em distãncia / Como braços de alcançar
Foste folha a flutuar / Arrastada p’la corrente
E o teu sangue foi semente / Dos cifrões doutro lugar
Gostavas de ouvir cantar / As modas da nossa terra
E a verdade que ela encerra / No seu jeito popular
Teu corpo de tudo dar / Corre nas veias do mundo
Imenso, fértil, fecundo / Com força de terra e mar
Ponho em ti o recordar / Na agrura da tua morte
Por sobre o sangue a gritar / Que não foi azar nem sorte
E a força do vento norte / Levou teu grito na mão
Meu amigo, meu irmão / Quem forçou a tua sorte
oh my friend john
In which lands did you lose yourself
If for nothing you died there
My friend my brother
Of doubtful birth / They prohibited your childhood
They turned you into distance / Like reaching arms
You were a floating leaf / Dragged by the current
And your blood was a seed / From the dollar signs elsewhere
Would you like to hear sing / The fashion of our land
It is the truth that it contains / In its popular way
Your body gives everything / Runs in the veins of the world
Immense, fertile, fertile / With the strength of land and sea
I put in you remembering / In the sorrow of your death
Over the blood to scream / Which was neither bad luck nor luck
And the force of the north wind / It took your cry in hand
My friend, my brother / Who forced your luck
