Tristeza do Jeca
Almir Sater
Jeca's Sadness
In these simple verses
My beauty, my love
I want to tell you
My suffering, my pain
I'm like a mockingbird
When he sings it's just sadness
From the branch where he is
I'm like a mockingbird
When he sings it's just sadness
From the branch where he is
On this viola I sing and really moan
Each tune represents a longing
I was born in that mountain
In a little ranch on the ground
All full of holes
Where the moon shines
When dawn comes
There from the forest the passing
A noise starts
When dawn comes
There from the forest the passing
A noise starts
On this viola I sing and really moan
Each tune represents a longing
There in the woods everything is sad
From the way you speak
Well, when Jeca sings
The urge to cry
And the crying that comes falling
Slowly it disappears
How the waters go to the sea
And the crying that comes falling
Slowly it disappears
How the waters go to the sea
On this viola I sing and really moan
Each tune represents a longing
