Jacarandá Lyrics in English Ana Moura

Home / Lyrics translation / Ana Moura / Jacarandá

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jacarandá by Ana Moura from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Red suit, shining cane

I close my eyes

And you're not far

I saw beauty in my hoarse voice

I read in the press that we're the crazy ones

I cover my ears, I hear your voice

To me, you're alive in every jacaranda

I lose my senses

I don't lose my way

Because I'm lucky to still hear you call

If you want I'll go, come on

If you say so I'll go, come on

If you want I'll go, come on

If you say so I'll go, come on

Verse 2

And night falls

The glass shines

In the yellow of limoncello

In the ping-pong of our life

I go far away

Just to hear you call

I see your face in the lilac sky

To me, you're alive in every jacaranda

Purple heart that I'll keep

I wanna be in a dream

Just to hear you call

If you want I'll go, come on

If you say so I'll go, come on

If you want I'll go, come on

If you say so I'll go, come on

If you want I'll go

jacarandá — jacaranda tree

Jacarandá refers to the jacaranda tree, known for its beautiful purple flowers. It's a specific and evocative word that paints a vivid picture.

In the song, Ana Moura sings, "Para mim, estás vivo em cada jacarandá" (For me, you are alive in every jacaranda tree). This line suggests that the memory or spirit of a loved one is intertwined with nature, making the jacaranda a symbol of enduring presence and beauty.

Imagine wandering beneath a sky painted lilac by blooming jacarandá trees, each petal whispering the name of someone you loved and lost. In Ana Moura’s song, those purple blossoms become magical messengers: they keep a departed presence alive, glowing in every sight, sound and sip of limoncello. The singer’s rich, slightly rouca (husky) voice moves between pain and hope as she pictures her loved one in every corner of Lisbon’s night, promising, “Se tu quiseres eu vou” – If you want me to, I will go.

Through playful images of a red suit, a sparkling cane and a ping-pong game of memories, the track celebrates the stubborn way love refuses to fade. It is a tender invitation to follow the rhythm of remembrance, letting music turn grief into a dance of longing, courage and color under the jacarandá trees.
