Naufrágio Lyrics in English Carminho , Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Naufrágio by Carminho from Portuguese to English.
Sonho meu, sonho meu
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
Go get the one who lives far away, my dream
Sonho meu, sonho meu
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
Go get the one who lives far away, my dream
Vai mostrar esta saudade, sonho meu
Go show this longing, my dream
Com a sua liberdade, sonho meu
With your freedom, my dream
No meu céu a estrela guia se perdeu
In my sky the guiding star got lost
A madrugada fria só me traz melancolia
the cold dawn only brings me melancholy
Sonho meu
My dream
Sinto o canto da noite na boca do vento
I feel the night's song on the wind's breath
Fazer a dança das flores no meu pensamento
Making the flowers dance in my mind
Traz a pureza de um samba
It brings the purity of a samba
Sentido, marcado de mágoas de amor
Heartfelt, marked by love's heartaches
Um samba que mexe o corpo da gente
a samba that moves our bodies
E o vento vadio embalando a flor
And the wandering wind rocking the flower
Traz a pureza de um samba
It brings the purity of a samba
Sentido, marcado de mágoas de amor
Heartfelt, marked by love's heartaches
Um samba que mexe o corpo da gente
a samba that moves our bodies
E o vento vadio embalando a flor
And the wandering wind rocking the flower
Sonho meu
My dream
Sonho meu, sonho meu
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
Go get the one who lives far away, my dream
Sonho meu, sonho meu
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
Go get the one who lives far away, my dream
Vai mostrar esta saudade, sonho meu
Go show this longing, my dream
Com a sua liberdade, sonho meu
With your freedom, my dream
No meu céu a estrela guia se perdeu
In my sky the guiding star got lost
E a madrugada fria só me traz melancolia
And the cold dawn only brings me melancholy
Sonho meu
My dream
Sinto o canto da noite na boca do vento
I feel the night's song on the wind's breath
Fazer a dança das flores no meu pensamento
Making the flowers dance in my mind
Traz a pureza de um samba
It brings the purity of a samba
Sentido, marcado de mágoas de amor
Heartfelt, marked by love's heartaches
Um samba que mexe o corpo da gente
a samba that moves our bodies
E o vento vadio embalando a flor
And the wandering wind rocking the flower
Traz a pureza de um samba
It brings the purity of a samba
Sentido, marcado de mágoas de amor
Heartfelt, marked by love's heartaches
Um samba que mexe o corpo da gente
a samba that moves our bodies
E o vento vadio embalando a flor
And the wandering wind rocking the flower
Sonho meu
My dream
Sonho meu, sonho meu
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
Go get the one who lives far away, my dream
Sonho meu, sonho meu (sonho meu, sonho meu)
My dream, my dream
Vá buscar quem mora longe, sonho meu
