Meu Alentejo [English translation]

I don't know what I left in Évora

That makes me remember Évora

When I reach the Tagus river

Its waves carry my soul away.

I suddenly left the Alentejo

And looked back, crying

Oh, Alentejo of my heart

You're so very far away from me!

You, harvester, who work so peacefully

Oh you, who harvest the wheat so peacefully

Sever the sorrows from my soul

Sever them and carry them away with you

I suddenly left the Alentejo

And looked back, crying

Oh, Alentejo of my heart

You're so very far away from me!
