Full lyrics

E a lua tava presente à reunião de tristeza

Era noite, mãe velha cantava canção de embalar

Tinha um rio, mas a água por ele esqueceu de passar

E mãe triste esperava seu filho voltar


Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá

Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá


E a lua tava presente à reunião de tristeza

Em um galho sem folhas um pássaro cantava sozinho

E um homem cansado da terra o horizonte olhava

De uma casa pequena saíam crianças cantando

Alegrando a tristeza que a vida nos dava


Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá

Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá

Translation

And the moon was present at the gathering of sadness

It was night, old mother sang a lullaby

There was a river, but the water forgot to flow through it

And the sad mother awaited her son's return


Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá

Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá


And the moon was present at the gathering of sadness

On a leafless branch a bird sang alone

And a man weary of the earth looked at the horizon

From a small house children came out singing

Bringing joy to the sadness that life gave us


Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá

Rauê, raiá, rauê, raiá, raiá, rauê, raiá
