Conto os dias para mim com a mala arrumada
I count the days for myself with my bag all packed
Já quase não cabia a saudade acumulada
There was hardly any room left for the love I've stacked
Do azul, vejo o jardim, mesmo por trás da asa
From the blue, I see the garden, even behind the wing
Mãe, olha à janela que eu 'tou a chegar à casa
Mom, look out the window, I’m arriving home, it’s a thing
Que eu 'tou a chegar à casa
I’m arriving home, it’s a thing
Que eu 'tou a chegar à casa
I’m arriving home, it’s a thing
Que eu 'tou a chegar à casa
I’m arriving home, it’s a thing
Por mais que possa parecer
No matter how it might seem
Eu nunca vou pertencer àquela cidade
I will never belong to that city’s dream
O mar de gente, o sol diferente
The sea of people, the sun’s different gleam
O monte de Betão não me provoca nada
The mountain of concrete does nothing to me
Não me convoca casa
Doesn't summon me home
Porque eu vim de longe, eu vim do mеio do mar
Because I came from far away, I came from the middle of the sea
No coração do oceano, eu tenho a vida intеira
In the heart of the ocean, I have my whole life
O meu caminho eu faço a pensar em regressar
I pave my way thinking of returning
À minha casa, é ilha, paz, Madeira
To my home, it's an island, peace, Madeira
Se eu te explicar palavra a palavra
If I explain word for word
Nunca vais entender a dor que me cala
You'll never understand the pain that silences me
A solidão que assombra a hora da partida
The loneliness that haunts the hour of departure
Carrego o sossego de poder voltar
I carry the calm of being able to return
Mãe, olha à janela que eu 'tou a chegar
Mom, look out the window, I'm coming home
Por mais que possa parecer
No matter how it may seem
Eu nunca vou pertencer àquela cidade
I will never belong to that city
O mar de gente, o sol diferente
The sea of people, the different sun
O monte de Betão não me provoca nada
The concrete mountain doesn’t move me at all
Não me convo...
It doesn't call me...
O mar de gente, o sol diferente
The sea of people, the different sun
O monte de Betão não me provoca nada
The concrete mountain doesn’t move me at all
Não me convoca casa
It doesn't summon me home
