Lyrics

O bando debandou
Subindo do arvoredo
Do vácuo que ficou
No fim do seu degredo
As asas abrem chagas
No acinzar do entardecer
E amansam a agonia
Do dia a escurecer
Ensombram a ribeira
E o verde da seara
E passam pela eira
Em que o sol se pousara
Nas gotas do orvalho
Luarento e vacilante
Refrescam o cansaço
E dormem um instante
Pássaros do sul
Bando de asas soltas
Trazem melodias
P’ra cantar às mo’as
Em noites de romaria
Em noites de romaria
No adejo da alvorada
Oscila a minha mágoa
O céu à desgarrada
Irrompe azul na água
E a passarada acorda
No sonhar de um camponês
E entrega-se no sul
Do frio que à noite fez
É tempo da partida
E a cor no horizonte
Adensa a despedida
E o borbotar da fonte
As asas abrem chagas
Na poeira o sol acalma
Num agitar inquieto
Que me refresca a alma
Pássaros do sul
Bando de asas soltas
Trazem melodias
P’ra cantar às mo’as
Em noites de romaria
Em noites de romaria

Lyrics translation

The gang ran off
Rising from the Grove
From the vacuum that got
At the end of its rung
Wings open wounds
At dusk
And tame the agony
From the day to dark
They overshadow the stream
It's a green yes evening
And pass through the eira
In which the sun had set
In the dew drops
Moonlight and wavering
Refresh fatigue
And sleep for a moment
Southern birds
Bunch of loose wings
Bring melodies
P'ra sing to Mo'as
On pilgrimage nights
On pilgrimage nights
In adejo da alvorada
Rock my heartache
The sky is torn apart
Blue bursts into the water
And the Sparrow wakes up
In the dream of a peasant
And delivers in the South
From the cold that at night made
It's departure time
And the color on the horizon
Densa to farewell
And the bubbling of the fountain
Wings open wounds
In the dust the sun soothes
In a restless shake
That refreshes my soul
Southern birds
Bunch of loose wings
Bring melodies
P'ra sing to Mo'as
On pilgrimage nights
On pilgrimage nights
