Alma de Boêmio
Tião Carreiro e Pardinho
Soul of a Drifter
My luck was cruel and unfair
I'm suffering for loving someone who doesn't want me
This happens to a man who believes
That there's love in a woman's heart
No matter how much I want to forget my past
My pain is living with thoughts of her
And friends just to see me hurt
When they find me, they bring news of her
All I have are the streets and booze as my inheritance
That woman gave me this damn prize
And today all that's left of her is a memory
Torturing my soul of a drifter
Drunk, I wander the nights through the streets
No one feels sorry for my sad life
Looking up at the sky while gazing at the moonlight
Her image appears to me
It was heartbreak that threw me into this life
Abandoned and rejected by the world
I’m always shipwrecked in the booze
I've become just a wandering drifter
I lost friends, lost everything I ever had
On long nights, only the night breeze hugs me
That woman still lives on the same street
Drinking with another, toasting to my misery
If today I roam ragged through the streets
The blame is all yours, you didn't know how to keep me
And out of revenge, I drink from this glass
To toast your misfortune at this bar
Keep drinking, I’ll keep living like this
And when my end comes, when I leave this world
You'll remember with longing that it was for eternity
Your wandering drifter
It was heartbreak that threw me into this life
Abandoned and rejected by the world
I’m always shipwrecked in the booze
I've become just a wandering drifter
I lost friends, lost everything I ever had
On long nights, only the night breeze hugs me
That woman still lives on the same street
Drinking with another, toasting to my misery
