Oh, how I wishAi, quem me dera
My little tuneO meu chorinho
So long abandonedTanto tempo abandonado
And the melancholy I feltE a melancolia que eu sentia
When I heard itQuando ouvia
Made me cry so muchEle fazer tanto chorar
Oh, I can't even rememberAi, nem me lembro
It's been so long, so longHá tanto, tanto
All the charmTodo o encanto
Of a pastDe um passado
That was beautifulQue era lindo
It was sad, it was goodEra triste, era bom
Just like a little tuneIgualzinho a um chorinho
Called OdeonChamado Odeon

With flute and ukuleleTerçando flauta e cavaquinho
My little tune breaks freeMeu chorinho se desata
Bringing the song from the guitarTirando a canção do violão
In this rhythmNesse bordão
That gives me lifeQue me dá vida
And kills meE que me mata
It's all affectionÉ só carinho
My little tuneO meu chorinho
When it grabs and comesQuando pega e chega
So slowlyAssim devagarzinho
Dim light, soft voice, half toneMeia-luz, meia-voz, meio tom
My little tune called OdeonMeu chorinho chamado Odeon

Ah, come quicklyAh, vem depressa
Dear little tune, comeChorinho querido, vem
Show the graceMostrar a graça
That heartfelt crying hasQue o choro sentido tem
How much time has passedQuanto tempo passou
How much has changedQuanta coisa mudou
No one cries for anyone anymoreJá ninguém chora mais por ninguém

Ah, who would have thought that one dayAh, quem diria que um dia
My little tune, you would comeChorinho meu, você viria
With the grace that love gave youCom a graça que o amor lhe deu
To say: It’s okayPra dizer: Não faz mal
It doesn’t matter, it’s all goodTanto faz, tanto fez
I came back to cry with you allEu voltei pra chorar com vocês

Cry a lot, my little tuneChora bastante meu chorinho
Your tune of longingTeu chorinho de saudade
Tell the mandolin not to playDiz ao bandolim pra não tocar
So beautifullyTão lindo assim
Because it almost seems cruelPorque parece até maldade
Oh, my little tuneAi, meu chorinho
I just wantedEu só queria
To turn into realityTransformar em realidade
The poetryA poesia
Oh, how beautiful, oh, how sad, oh, how goodAi, que lindo, ai, que triste, ai, que bom
Of a little tune called OdeonDe um chorinho chamado Odeon

Old little tune, dear little tuneChorinho antigo, chorinho amigo
I still feel this illusionEu até hoje ainda pecebo essa ilusão
This longing that goes with meEssa saudade que vai comigo
And it even seems like that prayerE até parece aquela prece
That comes straight from the heartQue sai só do coração
If I could rememberSe eu pudesse recordar
And be a childE ser criança
If I could renewSe eu pudesse renovar
My hopeMinha esperança
If I could recallSe eu pudesse me lembrar
How to danceComo se dança
This little tuneEsse chorinho
That nowadaysQue hoje em dia
No one knows anymoreNinguém sabe mais
