Diz Que Fui Por Ai [English translation]

If someone asks about me

Say I'm out somewhere,

With a guitar under my arm

I stop by any street corner

I come in any tavern

If I feel like it

It's just one more samba song I'm trying to write

If they ask whether I'm coming back

Say yes, I will

But not until longing goes away from me

I have a guitar to keep me company

I have many friends, I'm popular

I have the early morning as a companion

Longing hurts and eats my heart away

I am in the city, I am in the favela

I am God knows where

Always thinking about her
