Translation of the song A Canção que Chegou artist Cartola

Na manhã que nascia encontrei

By the morning that was rising I found

O que na noite tardia desejei

That which I had wished by the belated night

E vou feliz a cantar por aí

And I go around happily singing

Assim...

In this way...

Toda tristeza que havia

All the sadness that I had

Agora expulsei

I have now expelled

Com a canção que chegou

With the song that has just arrived

E vou cantando alegre

And I go singing joyful

A felicidade que Jesus mandou

The happiness that Jesus has sent

Lembro dos tempos de outrora

I remember the former times

Que quase me roubam

That almost steal me

A esperança e a fé

My faith and my hope

E hoje me volto contente

And today I turn myself joyful

Cantando pra Deus

Singing to God

Que tanto me ajudou

Who helped me so much

Não vou culpar os amigos

I am not going to blame the feigned

Fingidos que outrora eu tive

Friends that I previously had

Na vida

In life

Nem vou dizer

Not even am I going to say

Que a razão do fracasso

That the reason for the failure

Se prende a batalhas perdidas

Is tied to lost battles

E confiante despeço-me

And confidently I say farewell

Todo feliz a cantar

Singing entirely happy

Agradecido ao bom Senhor

Thankful to the good Lord

Por me ajudar

For having helped me.
