Até Ao Verão Lyrics in English by Ana Moura
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Até Ao Verão by Ana Moura from Portuguese to English.
Deixei
I left
Na Primavera o cheiro a cravo
In Spring, the smell of carnation
Rosa e quimera que me encravam na memória que inventei
Rose and chimera that get stuck in the memory I invented
E andei
And I walked
Como quem espera
Like someone waiting
Pelo fracasso
For failure
Contra mazela em corpo de aço
Against a wound in a body of steel
Nas ruelas do desdém
In the alleys of disdain
E a mim que importa
And what do I care
Se é bem ou mal
If it's good or bad
Se me falha a cor da chama a vida toda
If the flame's color fails me my whole life
É-me igual
It's all the same to me
Vim sem volta
I came with no turning back
Queira eu ou não
Whether I want to or not
Que me calhe a vida
That life befalls me
Insana e vossa em boda
Insane and yours in a wedding feast
Até ao verão
Until summer
Deixei na primavera o som do encanto
I left in Spring the sound of enchantment
Risa, promessa e sono santo
Laughter, promise and holy sleep
Já não sei o que é dormir bem
I don't know what it is to sleep well anymore
E andei pelas favelas
And I walked through the favelas
Do que eu faço
Of what I do
Ora tropeço em erros crassos
Sometimes I stumble upon gross errors
Ora esqueço onde errei
Sometimes I forget where I erred
E a mim que importa
And what do I care
Se é bem ou mal
If it's good or bad
Se me falha a cor da chama a vida toda
If the flame's color fails me my whole life
É-me igual
It's all the same to me
Vim sem volta
I came with no turning back
Queira eu ou não
Whether I want to or not
Que me calhe a vida
That life befalls me
Insana e vossa em boda
Insane and yours in a wedding feast
Até ao verão
Until summer
E a mim que importa
And what do I care
Se é bem ou mal
If it's good or bad
Se me falha a cor da chama a vida toda
If the flame's color fails me my whole life
É-me igual
It's all the same to me
Vim sem volta
I came with no turning back
Queira eu ou não
Whether I want to or not
Que me calhe a vida
That life befalls me
Insana e vossa em boda
Insane and yours in a wedding feast
Até ao verão
Until summer
Deixei na primavera o som do encanto
I left in Spring the sound of enchantment

Did you like this lyrics translation?
quimera — chimera / fantasy
Quimera translates to "chimera" or "fantasy." It's a beautiful and somewhat rare word that evokes a sense of an elusive dream or an impossible ideal.
In the song, Ana Moura sings about a "rosa e quimera que me encravam na memória que inventei" (rose and chimera that get stuck in the memory I invented). This suggests a longing for something imagined or unattainable, adding a layer of poetic depth to her reflections on past seasons and emotions.
