Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carolina by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nos seus olhos fundos
In your deep eyes
Guarda tanta dor
Keep so much pain
A dor de todo esse mundo
The pain of this whole world
Eu já lhe expliquei que não vai dar
I already explained to you that it won't work
Seu pranto não vai nada ajudar
Your crying won't help anything
Eu já convidei para dançar
I already asked you to dance
É hora, já sei, de aproveitar
It's time, I know, to enjoy
Lá fora, amor
Outside, love
Uma rosa nasceu
A rose was born
Todo mundo sambou
Everyone samba
Uma estrela caiu
A star fell
Eu bem que mostrei sorrindo
I really showed it smiling
Pela janela, ói que lindo
Through the window, oh how beautiful
Mas Carolina não viu
But Carolina didn't see
Nos seus olhos tristes
In your sad eyes
Guarda tanto amor
Keep so much love
O amor que já não existe
The love that no longer exists
Eu bem que avisei, vai acabar
I warned you, it will end
De tudo lhe dei para aceitar
I gave you everything to accept
Mil versos cantei pra lhe agradar
I sang a thousand verses to please you
Agora não sei como explicar
Now I don't know how to explain
Lá fora, amor
Outside, love
Uma rosa morreu
A rose died
Uma festa acabou
A party is over
Nosso barco partiu
Our boat has sailed
Eu bem que mostrei a ela
I well showed her
O tempo passou na janela
Time passed by the window
E só Carolina não viu
And only Carolina didn't see it
Eu bem que mostrei a ela
I well showed her
O tempo passou na janela
Time passed by the window
E só Carolina não viu
And only Carolina didn't see it
