Alta noite já se ia
The deep night was already fading away
Ninguém na estrada andava
No one was walking on the road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path that no one walks
Alta noite já se ia
The deep night was already fading away
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet in the water
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No person was going alone
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No one was coming
Nem a manhãzinha
Not even the morning light
Nem a madrugada
Not even the dawn
Alta noite já se ia
The deep night was already fading away
Ninguém na estrada andava
No one walked on the road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path that no one walks
Alta noite já se ia
High night was already fading
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet in the water
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No person went alone
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No one was coming
Nem a estrela guia
Not even the guiding star
Nem a estrela-d'alva
Not even the morning star
Alta noite já se ia
High night was already fading
Ninguém na estrada andava
No one walked on the road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path that no one walks
Alta noite já se ia
High night was already passing
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet in the water
Laiá laiá
Laiá laiá
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No one was going alone
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No one was coming
Nem a manhãzinha
Not even the early morning
Nem a madrugada
Not even the dawn
Alta noite já se ia
High night was already passing
Ninguém na estrada andava
No one walked the road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path that no one walks
Alta noite já se ia
The high night was already fading
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet in the water
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No one alone was walking
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No one was coming
Nem a estrela guia
Not even the guiding star
Nem a estrela-d'alva
Not even the morning star
Alta noite já se ia
The high night was already fading
Ninguém na estrada andava
No one was on the road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path that no one walks
Alta noite já se ia
The high night was already fading
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet in the water
