*Brazilian Nacional bird sabiá (Turdus rufiventris)
Song of Exile (Cancao do Exilio) by Antonio Goncalves Dias translated from Portuges by Alexandre Duboc
In my Homeland there are palm trees.
Where the Sabiá* sings;
The birds warbling here
Don't sing as they do there.
Our sky have more stars,
Our meadows far more blooms,
Our forests have more life,
Our life has much more love.
When I’m thinking about, alone, at night,
I find more pleasure there;
There are palm trees in my country
Where the Sabia sings.
My country has a loveliness
That I don't find here;
When I dream -- alone, at night --
I find more pleasure there;
There are palm trees in my country,
Where the Sabia sings.
May God not let me perish
Without going back there;
Without knowing the loveliness
I cannot find here;
Without a glimpse of palm trees
Where the Sabia sings.
