The Immigrant Portuguese translation

Os portos abrem os braços para o jovem estrangeiro em busca
Harbors open their arms to the young searching foreigner
Venha viver à luz do farol da liberdade
Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty
Planícies e outdoors de céu aberto anunciariam
Plains and open skies billboards would advertise
Era algo assim quando você chegou
Was it anything like that when you arrived?

Os barcos dos sonhos levaram o futuro ao coração da América
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America
As pessoas esperavam na fila por um lugar à beira do rio
People were waiting in line for a place by the river

Era uma época em que estranhos eram bem-vindos aqui
It was a time when strangers were welcome here
A música tocava, eles me dizem que os dias eram doces e claros
Music would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clear
Era uma música mais doce e havia muito espaço
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
Que as pessoas podem vir de todos os lugares
That people could come from everywhere

Agora ele chega com suas esperanças e seu coração em milagres
Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles
Venha casar com sua fortuna com a mão cheia de promessas
Come to marry his fortune with a handful of promises
Para descobrir que eles fecharam a porta, eles não o querem mais
To find they′ve closed the door, they don't want him anymore
Não há mais para onde ir
There isn′t anymore to go around

Afastando-se, ele lembra que uma vez ouviu uma lenda
Turning away, he remembers he once heard a legend
Isso falou de uma terra mágica mística chamada América
That spoke of a mystical magical land called America

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
Que as pessoas podem vir de todos os lugares
