Full lyrics

Mãe eu vou me embora

A hora chegou

Deixo a senhora aqui

Vou contra meu gosto

Mas eu vou


Um dia eu volto

Para lhe buscar

Vou lhe fazer um pedido

Lembrando de mim

Não precisa chorar


Vou partir, mas lembrarei

De escrever uma cartinha

Mas não vou agüentar

Ficar tanto tempo

Sem poder lhe falar

Que seja ao menos por carta

Mas com a senhora

Eu vou conversar


Ande logo mãe

O carro já vai sair

Fique na porta e só entre

Quando na estrada eu sumir


Ao ouvir a buzina

Num adeus que é meu

Reze mamãe, peça a Deus

Felicidade para um filho seu

Translation

Mother, I'm leaving

The time has come

I leave you here

I go against my will

But I'm going


One day I'll return

To come get you

I'm going to ask you something

Remembering me

You don't need to cry


I'm leaving, but I'll remember

To write a little letter

But I won't be able to stand it

Being so long

Without being able to talk to you

Let it be at least by letter

But with you

I will converse


Hurry up, mother

The car is about to leave

Stay at the door and only go in

When I disappear on the road


Upon hearing the horn

In a goodbye that is mine

Pray, mommy, ask God

For happiness for your son
