Full lyrics

Amanhece, preciso ir

Meu caminho é sem volta

E sem ninguém

Eu vou pra onde a estrada levar

Cantador, só sei cantar


Ah! Eu canto a dor

Canto a vida e a morte

Canto o amor


Cantador não escolhe o seu cantar

Canta o mundo que vê

E pro mundo que eu ví, meu cantador

Mas é forte

Pra espantar a morte

Pra todos ouvirem ao menos chorar

Cantador, só sei cantar

Translation

It dawns, I must go

My path is without return

And without anyone

I will go where the road takes me

Cantador, I only know how to sing


Ah! I sing the pain

I sing life and death

I sing love


A cantador does not choose his song

He sings the world he sees

And for the world I saw, my cantador

But it is strong

To ward off death

For everyone to at least hear weeping

Cantador, I only know how to sing
