Alta noite já se ia
The night was underway
Ninguém na estrada andava
Nobody walked on that road
No caminho que ninguém caminha,
On the path where nobody walks
Alta noite já se ia
The night was already underway
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet on the water
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No person alone came
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No person at all came
Nem a manhãzinha
Not even the morning,
Nem a madrugada
Not even the dawn
Nem a estrela-guia
Not even the lodestar
Nem a estrela d'alva
Not even the morning star
Alta noite já se ia
Late at night was already underway,
Ninguém na estrada andava
Nobody walked on that road
No caminho que ninguém caminha
On the path where nobody walks,
Alta noite já se ia
Late at night was already underway
Ninguém com os pés na água
No one with their feet on the water
Nenhuma pessoa sozinha ia
No person alone came
Nenhuma pessoa vinha
No person at all came
Nem a manhãzinha
Not even the morning,
Nem a madrugada
Not even the dawn
Nem a estrela-guia
Not even the lodestar
Nem a estrela d'alva
Not even the morning star
Alta noite já se ia
The night was underway
Ninguém na estrada andava
On the path where nobody walks,
No caminho que ninguém caminha, alta noite já se ia
The night was already underway
