These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Os teus olhos são dois círios
Your eyes are two citrus
Dando luz triste ao meu rosto
Giving sad light to my face
Marcado pelos martírios
Marked by martyrdom
Da saudade e do desgosto
Of longing and heartbreak
Quando oiço bater trindades
When I hear beat trinities
E a tarde já vai no fim
And the afternoon is over
Eu peço às tuas saudades
I ask you to miss you
Um padre nosso por mim
A priest of ours for me
Mas não sabes fazer preces
But you don't know how to say a prayer
Não tens saudades nem pranto
You don't miss or weeby
Por que é que tu me aborreces
Why do you bore me?
Por que é que eu te quero tanto?
Why do I want you so much?
És para meu desespero
You're to my despair
Como as nuvens que andam altas
Like the clouds that walk high
Todos os dias te espero
Every day I expect you
Todos os dias me faltas
Every day i miss
Your eyes are two candles
Your eyes are two candles
It giving a sad light into my face
It giving a sad light into my face
Marked by martyrdom
Marked by martyrdom
Of longing and heartbreak
Of longing and heartbreak
When i hear knocking trinities
When i hear knocking trinities
And the afternoon reach the end
And the afternoon reach the end
I beg to your longing
I beg to your longing
An 'our father' for me
An 'our father' for me
But you don´t know how says prayer
But you don ́t know how to say prayer
You haven´t longing and weeping
You haven ́t longing and weeping
Why you bothers me?
Why do you bothers me?
Why i love you so much?
Why i love you so much?
Is for my desperation
Is for my desperation
Like the higher clouds
Like the higher clouds
Every day i wait for you
Every day I wait for you
Every day you fail to me
Every day you fail to me
Did you know?
