Manto De Água Lyrics in English Agir , Ana Moura

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Manto De Água by Agir from Portuguese to English.
Olha só
Look
Parece que a vida passou
It seems like life passed by
Passou por nós
Passed by us
Deixando um manto de água na minha voz
Leaving a cloak of water in my voice
E agora canto, para ela nunca secar
And now I sing, so it never dries up
Para ela nunca secar
So it never dries up
Olha só
Look
Verse 1
Olha só pra nós
Look at us
Eu andava atrás do sonho
I was chasing the dream
Que não ouvi a tua voz
That I didn't hear your voice
A chamar por mim
Calling out to me
Verse 1
E a dizer que se começa também pode ter um fim
And saying that what starts can also have an end
Podes dizer que eu não vi
You can say I didn't see
Mas agora sei que o sonho não é sonho sem ti
But now I know that the dream isn't a dream without you
E de que serve uma lição
And what good is a lesson
Se não passar de hoje
If it doesn't go beyond today
De que serve uma canção
What good is a song
Se ninguém sequer a ouve
If no one even listens
Então tu
So you
Olha só
Look
Parece que a vida passou
It seems like life passed by
Passou por nós
Passed by us
Deixando um manto de água na minha voz
Leaving a cloak of water in my voice
E agora canto, para ela nunca secar
And now I sing, so it never dries up
Para ela nunca secar
So it never dries up
Olha só
Look
Verse 2
Qual será a razão
What could be the reason
Para eu nem sequer ligar à minha fonte de inspiração
For me not even paying attention to my source of inspiration
Que és tu
Which is you
E eu tive uma visão
And I had a vision
Que por este andar só me vai trazer cem anos de solidão
That at this rate will only bring me a hundred years of solitude
E de que serve uma lição
And what good is a lesson
Se não passar de hoje
If it doesn't go beyond today
De que serve uma canção
What good is a song
Se ninguém sequer a ouve
If no one even listens
Olha só
Look
Olha só
Look
Parece que a vida passou
It seems like life passed by
Passou por nós
Passed by us
Deixando um manto de água na minha voz
Leaving a cloak of water in my voice
E agora canto, para ela nunca secar
And now I sing, so it never dries up
Para ela nunca secar
So it never dries up
Verse 3
E eu dei o nó
And I tied the knot
Para que a vida nunca leve o melhor de nós
So that life never takes the best of us
Espero que o manto de água encontre a foz
I hope the cloak of water finds its mouth
E agora canto, para ela nunca secar
And now I sing, so it never dries up
Para ela nunca secar
So it never dries up
Então olha só
So look
Eu sei que dói
I know it hurts
Mas só se eu deixar
But only if I let it
O que não mata, mói
What doesn't kill, hurts
E também destrói mas vai acabar por passar
And also destroys but it will eventually pass
Sim, eu juro que vai
Yes, I swear it will
Tu mereces mais
You deserve more
Mas também tu só aprendes quando cais
But you also only learn when you fall
E como o sonho não é um só
And since the dream is not just one
Olha só
Look
Parece que a vida passou
It seems like life passed by
Passou por nós
Passed by us
Deixando um manto de água na minha voz
Leaving a cloak of water in my voice
E agora canto, para ela nunca secar
And now I sing, so it never dries up
Para ela nunca secar
So it never dries up
