“O Sol Nascerá” (Cartola, 1974)
On what would have been Cartola’s 116th birthday (!) and following the massive storms in Florida in the last couple days, a translation of the simple and uplifting “O Sol Nascerá” (“The Sun Will Rise”) because yes it will!
“The Sun Will Rise”
Smiling
I intend to spend my life
Since crying
I saw the youth
Lost
Once the storm ends
The sun will rise
Once this nostalgia ends
I will have someone else to love
“O Sol Nascerá”
A sorrir
Eu pretendo levar a vida
Pois chorando
Eu vi a mocidade
Perdida
Finda a tempestade
O sol nascerá
Finda esta saudade
Hei de ter outro alguém para amar
