These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Como será pois se ardiam fogueiras
What will it be like because bonfires burned
Com olhos de areia quem viu
With sand eyes who saw
Praias, paixões fevereiras
Beaches, fevery passions
Não dizem o que junhos de fumaça e frio
Don't say what junes of smoke and cold
Onde e quando é genipapo absoluto
Where and when is absolute genipapo
Meu pai, seu tanino, seu mel
My father, his tannin, his honey
Prensa, esperança, sofrer prazeria
Press, hope, suffer pleasure
Promessa, poesia, mabel
Promise, poetry, mabel
Cantar é mais do que lembrar
Singing is more than remembering
É mais do que ter tido aquilo então
It's more than having had it then
Mais do que viver do que sonhar
More than living than dreaming
É ter o coração daquilo
It's having the heart of it
Tudo são trechos que escuto: vêm dela
Everything are excerpts I hear: they come from her
Pois minha mãe é minha voz
For my mother is my voice
Como será que isso era este som
How was that sound?
Que hoje sim, gera sóis, dói em dós
That today, yes, generates suns, hurts in dots
'aquele que considera'
'the one who considers'
A saudade de uma mera contraluz que vem
The longing for a mere backlight that comes
Do que deixou pra trás
What you left behind
Não, esse só desfaz o signo
No, that just undoes the sign
E a 'rosa também'
And the pink too
