Full lyrics
Pé na estrada sem descanso
Sem parar pra ver
Tempo e chão que percorridos
Gritos que eu plantei
Menestrel do Sol
Na vida eu só cantei
Juntando irmão com irmão
Eu esquecia de viver
Ai, ai quanta saudade
Do beijo que eu não dei
As coisas eu que não tive
São lembranças que eu guardei
Ai, ai que curta vida
Pra quem tanto viveu
Os sonhos de outras vidas
Que ajudei com o canto meu
Ouro e terra
E eu cantando sem me aperceber
Dos momentos que eram meus
Não voltam mais, eu sei
Menestrel do Sol
Caminhos que eu cruzei
Destino dividiu
Em mil destinos o meu viver
Ai, ai quanta saudade
Do beijo que eu não dei
As coisas eu que não tive
São lembranças que eu guardei
Ai, ai que curta vida
Pra quem tanto viveu
Os sonhos de outras vidas
Que ajudei com o canto meu
Ai, ai
Translation
Foot on the road without rest
Without stopping to see
Time and ground that were traveled
Cries that I planted
Minnesinger of the Sun
In life I only sang
Bringing brother with brother together
I forgot to live
Oh, oh how much saudade
Of the kiss I didn't give
The things I didn't have
Are memories I kept
Oh, oh what a short life
For someone who lived so much
The dreams of other lives
That I helped with my song
Gold and earth
And I singing without realizing
The moments that were mine
Won't come back, I know
Minnesinger of the Sun
Paths that I crossed
Destiny divided
My life into a thousand destinies
Oh, oh how much saudade
Of the kiss I didn't give
The things I didn't have
Are memories I kept
Oh, oh what a short life
For someone who lived so much
The dreams of other lives
That I helped with my song
Oh, oh
