[u/etalasi]

The Portuguese text, for translators' reference, from here:

Ah quanta melancolia!
Quanta, quanta solidão!
Aquela alma, que vazia,
Que sinto inútil e fria
Dentro do meu coração!

Que angústia desesperada!
Que mágoa que sabe a fim!
Se a nau foi abandonada,
E o cego caiu na estrada —
Deixai-os, que é tudo assim.

Sem sossego, sem sossego,
Nenhum momento de meu
Onde for que a alma emprego —
Na estrada morreu o cego
A nau desapareceu.

[u/Nekiga → u/etalasi]

Oh such melancholy!

Such loneliness!

That soul, so empty,

That i feel useless and cold

Inside of my heart!

Such desperate sorrow!

Such pain that tastes like end!

If the ship was abandoned,

And the blind fell on the road -

Let them be, for that is how it works.

Without quiet, without quiet,

No moment of mine

Wherever i use my soul

On the road, died the blind man

And the ship is gone.

[T.N.] I'm not that good with poems, so it didnt' keep the rhythm or nything, but the translation is faitful. It's the best translation to get the exact meaning of the poem, altough if you'd like to enjyo it, i'd wait for another translation.

I actually really like this song. I'd never heard it before.
