Sing In Portuguese - Randy Stonehill
The kindest person I ever knew
Was my grandmother Mary
She came from the Azores Islands
Off of the Portugal coast
And she and her husband
Worked on a little farm
In the valley so green
Called the San Joaquin
He was handsome and tall
And he played
The guitar with ease
And she'd fallen in love
When he sang in Portuguese
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Ate amanha miu amor
He sang in Portuguese
My grandfather passed away
Before he had time to grow old
The life of an immigrant
Farmer had taken a terrible toll
And Mary once told me
She often would wake in the night
And she'd still hear him call
Through the dark down the hall
And she'd kneel by her bed
And take out her rosary beads
And the tears would fall
As she'd pray in Portuguese
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Ate amanha miu amor
She'd pray in Portuguese
Oh Mary the church bells
Are ringing for Christmas
Mary do you hear
An angel's sweet voice
Oh Mary I know you
Must leave when he calls
But I wish that
Somehow you could stay
'Cuz I loved you most of all
She lies so still now
In her snowy white hospital queet
With the life that
She loved so much
Still going on in her head
She's there in her kitchen
And laughter is filling the room
Or her garden in spring
With her roses in bloom
Now she smiles like
She knows me
Though I'm never sure
Who she sees
But her eyes still light up
When I sing in Portuguese
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
