These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Súbito me encantou
Suddenly I was enchanted
A moça em contraluz
The girl in backlight
Arrisquei perguntar: quem és?
I risked asking: who are you?
Mas fraquejou a voz
But his voice weakened
Sem jeito eu lhe pegava as mãos
I awkwardly took his hands
Como quem desatasse um nó
Like someone untying a knot
Soprei seu rosto sem pensar
I blew your face without thinking
E o rosto se desfez em pó
And the face crumbled to dust
Há de haver algum lugar
There has to be somewhere
Um confuso casarão
A confusing mansion
Onde os sonhos serão reais
Where dreams will be real
E a vida não
And life doesn't
Por ali reinaria meu bem
My good would reign there
Com seus risos, seus ais, sua tez
With your laughter, your woes, your complexion
E uma cama onde à noite
And a bed where at night
Sonhasse comigo
Dreamed of me
Talvez
Maybe
Por encanto voltou
By magic he returned
Cantando a meia voz
Singing in half voice
Súbito perguntei: quem és?
Suddenly I asked: who are you?
Mas oscilou a luz
But the light wavered
Fugia devagar de mim
Run away from me slowly
E quando a segurei, gemeu
And when I held her, she moaned
O seu vestido se partiu
Your dress broke
E o rosto já não era o seu
And the face was no longer yours
Um lugar deve existir
A place must exist
Uma espécie de bazar
A kind of bazaar
Onde os sonhos extraviados
Where misplaced dreams
Vão parar
They will stop
Entre escadas que fogem dos pés
Between stairs that run away from your feet
E relógios que rodam pra trás
And clocks that run backwards
Se eu pudesse encontrar meu amor
If I could find my love
Não voltava Jamais
Never came back
