Minha Viola

I have a guitar
That sings like this
It consoles my pain
Dilim, dilim, dilim

When I left my backcountry
I had nothing of my own
Except for this guitar
That my father gave me

And around the world I go
Climbing mountains, descending hills
Playing my guitar
Remembering my land

And when the afternoon is dying
I grab my guitar
If I'm sad and suffering
It's the one that consoles me

Each note is a moan
Each moan is a longing
I'm lost in longing
Guitar, in this eternal solitude
I'm lost in longing
Guitar, in this eternal solitude

And in this backcountry of my loves
When I start to play
Its singers fall silent
To listen to us sing

Sing my joy
Sing so I don't cry
I will enter heaven with you
When my time comes
