Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oliveira Dos Cen Años by C. Tangana from Spanish to English.
Vai minha tristeza
Go, my sadness
Que sem ela não pode ser
That it can't be without her
Diz-lhe numa prece que ela regresse
Tell her in a prayer that she returns
Porque eu não posso mais sofrer
Because I can't suffer anymore
Chega de saudade, a realidade é que sem ela
Enough of longing, the reality is that without her
Não há paz, não há beleza, é só tristeza
There is no peace, there is no beauty, there is only sadness
E a melancolia que não sai de mim
And the melancholy that doesn't leave me
Não sai de mim, não sai
Doesn't leave me, doesn't leave
Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
But if she comes back, if she comes back
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
What a beautiful thing, what a crazy thing
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Because there are fewer fish swimming in the sea
Do que os beijinhos que eu darei na sua boca
Than the kisses I will give on her mouth
Dentro dos meus braços os abraços hão de ser milhões de abraços
Within my arms, the hugs will be millions of hugs
Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim
Tight like this, glued like this, silent like this
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim
Hugs and kisses and caresses without end
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de viver longe de mim
To put an end to this thing of living far from me
Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim
I don't want this thing of you living like this anymore
Vamos deixar desse negócio de você viver sem mim
Let's stop this thing of you living without me
Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim
I don't want this thing of you living like this anymore
