Chororô [English translation]

I pity those who cry

I feel bad for those who cry

When the cry of the one crying

Is not crying, is whining

When someone cries in low sound

And the tear is running down the corner of the eye

You can't doubt

The reason for such pain

Cannot be forgotten *

Wathever it may be

But when someone cries madly

Making a scene, like he'll break apart

Then, I think it's better

To help this pain

To find it's place

In the middle of the whining

Whining, whining, whining

It's a lot of water, it's sorrow, it's a foolish way of crying

Whining, whining, whining

It's sorrow, it's a lot of water, we may drown

Whining, whining, whining

It's a lot of water, it's sorrow, it's a foolish way of crying

Whining, whining, whining

It's sorrow, it's a lot of water, we may finnish ourselves off **
