Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Basta Um Dia by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Não mais que um dia
No more than a day
E eu faço desatar
And I make it untie
A minha fantasia
My fantasy
Pois se jura, se esconjura
Because if you swear, you hide
Se ama e se tortura
If you love and torture yourself
Se tritura, se atura e se cura
Grind, put up and heal
Da luz do dia
From the light of day
O que eu pedia
What I asked for
Um dia pra aplacar
A day to appease
Toda a sangria
All the blood
Todo o veneno
All the poison
De um pequeno dia
Of a small day
Pois se beija, se maltrata
Because you kiss, you mistreat
Se come e se mata
Eat and kill yourself
Se arremata, se acata e se trata
If you do it, if you accept it and if you treat it
Na luz do dia
In the light of day
O que eu pedia, viu
What I asked for, see
Um dia pra aplacar
A day to appease
Toda a sangria
All the blood
Todo o veneno
All the poison
De um pequeno dia
Of a small day
