Recado do gaiteiro

I sent a message
I don't know if anyone received it
I came from far away
With this gift that is mine

To remind with my verses
Of someone who has already forgotten me
Of their beloved land
Of the place where they were born.

I sent a message
To those who like to dance
I was going to pass by here
To play at a big dance

I want to see my friends again
To hug them all
To spend an endless night
With the people of this place.

I send a message
And leave another playing
To the new ones emerging
On the road that I am leaving

What a pity they didn't see
Young Honeide singing
It was Rio Grande do Sul
Vibrating in a strong chest.

I sent a message
To those who were once my love
Remember me fondly
With much warmth of longing

For I keep drops in my heart
Of joy and pain
The message is from the accordionist
From this old singer.
