Jacarandá Lyrics in English Ana Moura

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
If you want I'll go
If you want I'll go
If you want I'll go
If you want I'll go

SONG MEANING

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.
