| MENINA DOS OLHOS TRISTES | SAD-EYED KID |
| | |
| Menina dos olhos tristes | Sad eyed kid |
| o que tanto a faz chorar | What has made you cry so much |
| o soldadinho não volta | The little soldier won’t return |
| do outro lado do mar | From the other side of the sea. |
| | |
| Vamos senhor pensativo | Lets go, thoughtful man, |
| olhe o cachimbo a apagar | Watch your pipe burn out |
| o soldadinho não volta | The little solder won’t return |
| do outro lado do mar | From the other side of the sea. |
| | |
| Senhora de olhos cansados | Lady with your tired eyes |
| porque a fatiga o tear | Why so weary at the loom |
| o soldadinho não volta | The little soldier won’t return |
| do outro lado do mar | From the other side of the sea. |
| | |
| Anda bem triste um amigo | A friend goes around so sad |
| uma carta o fez chorar | A letter has made him weep |
| o soldadinho não volta | Because the little soldier won’t return |
| do outro lado do mar | From the other side of the sea. |
| | |
| A lua que é viajante | The moon which is travelling |
| é que nos pode informar | Is able to let us know |
| o soldadinho já volta | That the little soldier is back |
| está mesmo quase a chegar | He is almost here. |
| | |
| Vem numa caixa de pinho | They come in a pine coffin |
| do outro lado do mar | From the other side of the sea |
| desta vez o soldadinho | This time the little soldier |
| nunca mais se faz ao mar | Will never again go to sea. |
