That Black Guitar

Aquela Guitarra Preta

That Black Guitar

Eu era o pequeno Vlado entãoI was little Vlado then
Quando os ciganos vieram vagando, pra nossa cidadeWhen the gypsies came a wandering, to our town
Eles vinham até a casa, e começavam a tocar.They'd come by the house, and they'd start to play.
E meu pai ia, pro seu quarto, e pegava sua guitarraAnd father would go, to his room, and pickup his guitar
Que ele comprou há muito tempoWhich he'd bought long ago
Com seu salário mixurucaWith his paltry pay

Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra?Mister, do you still have that guitar
Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra preta?Mister, do you still have that black guitar
Aquela era a melhor de todas, com certeza.That one was the best one by far

E eles continuavam perguntandoAnd they kept on asking
Depois dissoAlong after that
Sempre que pediam, por uma moedinha ou duasWhenever they'd shill, for a spare coin or two
Sempre que tocavam, no bar da vilaAlways when they played, at the village saloon
E faziam suas pausas, pra beber no balcãoAnd they'd take their breaks, to drink at the bar
Sempre que suas esposasWhenever their wives
Ficavam na portaStood by the door
E pediam roupas velhasAnd asked for old clothes
Suas esposas imploravamTheir wives would implore

Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra?Mister, do you still have that guitar
Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra preta?Mister, do you still have that black guitar
Aquela era a melhor de todas, com certeza.That one was the best one by far

Agora quando eu volto pra casaNow when I come home
Eu me sento debaixo das castanheirasI sit beneath the chestnuts
E eu beboAnd I drink
Eu bebo com meus amigosI drink with my friends
Que ainda chamam isso de larWho still call this home
E quase toda noiteAnd nearly every night
Eles vêm pra mesaTo the table they come
E tocam pra nósAnd play for us
Com rostos de criançasWith childish faces
E vozes trêmulasAnd tremelous voices
Eles perguntamThey ask

Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra?Mister, do you still have that guitar
Mister, você ainda tem aquela guitarra preta?Mister, do you still have that black guitar
Aquela era a melhor de todas, com certeza.That one was the best one by far
Aquela era a melhor de todas, com certeza.That one was the best one by far
Aquela era a melhor de todas, com certeza.That one was the best one by far
