Sing In Portuguese - Randy Stonehill[00:00:00]
The kindest person I ever knew[00:00:00]
Was my grandmother Mary[00:00:04]
She came from the Azores Islands[00:00:09]
Off of the Portugal coast[00:00:14]
And she and her husband[00:00:18]
Worked on a little farm[00:00:20]
In the valley so green[00:00:26]
Called the San Joaquin[00:00:30]
He was handsome and tall[00:00:34]
And he played[00:00:37]
The guitar with ease[00:00:37]
And she'd fallen in love[00:00:43]
When he sang in Portuguese[00:00:45]
La la la la la la la la[00:00:48]
La la la la la la[00:00:52]
Ate amanha miu amor[00:00:55]
He sang in Portuguese[00:00:58]
My grandfather passed away[00:01:03]
Before he had time to grow old[00:01:06]
The life of an immigrant[00:01:13]
Farmer had taken a terrible toll[00:01:15]
And Mary once told me[00:01:21]
She often would wake in the night[00:01:23]
And she'd still hear him call[00:01:29]
Through the dark down the hall[00:01:33]
And she'd kneel by her bed[00:01:37]
And take out her rosary beads[00:01:40]
And the tears would fall[00:01:46]
As she'd pray in Portuguese[00:01:48]
La la la la la la la la[00:01:51]
La la la la la la[00:01:55]
Ate amanha miu amor[00:01:58]
She'd pray in Portuguese[00:02:01]
Oh Mary the church bells[00:02:07]
Are ringing for Christmas[00:02:11]
Mary do you hear[00:02:16]
An angel's sweet voice[00:02:19]
Oh Mary I know you[00:02:24]
Must leave when he calls[00:02:28]
But I wish that[00:02:33]
Somehow you could stay[00:02:34]
'Cuz I loved you most of all[00:02:37]
She lies so still now[00:02:42]
In her snowy white hospital queet[00:02:45]
With the life that[00:02:52]
She loved so much[00:02:53]
Still going on in her head[00:02:56]
She's there in her kitchen[00:03:00]
And laughter is filling the room[00:03:02]
Or her garden in spring[00:03:08]
With her roses in bloom[00:03:12]
Now she smiles like[00:03:17]
She knows me[00:03:18]
Though I'm never sure[00:03:19]
Who she sees[00:03:21]
But her eyes still light up[00:03:25]
When I sing in Portuguese[00:03:27]
La la la la la la la la[00:03:30]
La la la la la la[00:03:35]
Ate amanha miu amor[00:03:38]
I sing in Portuguese[00:03:40]
La la la la la la la la[00:03:43]
La la la la la la la la[00:03:47]
Her eyes light up[00:03:51]
When I sing in Portuguese[00:03:53]
