These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Já conheço os passos dessa estrada
I already know the steps of this road
Sei que não vai dar em nada
I know it won't come to anything
Seus segredos sei de cór
I know your secrets by heart
Já conheço as pedras do caminho
I already know the stones on the way
E sei também que ali sozinho
And I also know that there alone
Eu vou ficar, tanto pior
I'll be, so much worse
O que é que eu posso contra o encanto
What can I do against the spell
Desse amor que eu nego tanto
Of this love that I deny so much
Evito tanto
I avoid so much
E que no entanto
And yet
Volta sempre a enfeitiçar
It always comes back to enchant
Com seus mesmos tristes velhos fatos
With your same sad old facts
Que num álbum de retratos
That in a photo album
Eu teimo em colecionar
I insist on collecting
Lá vou eu de novo como um tolo
There I go again like a fool
Procurar o desconsolo
Look for the disconsolate
Que cansei de conhecer
That I'm tired of knowing
Novos dias tristes, noites claras
New sad days, clear nights
Versos, cartas, minha cara
Verses, letters, my dear
Ainda volto a lhe escrever
I still write to you again
Pra lhe dizer que isso é pecado
To tell you that this is a sin
Eu trago o peito tão marcado
I have such a marked chest
De lembranças do passado
Of memories from the past
E você sabe a razão
And you know the reason
Vou colecionar mais um soneto
I'm going to collect another sonnet
Outro retrato em branco e preto
Another portrait in black and white
A maltratar meu coração
Mistreating my heart
Vou colecionar mais um soneto
I'm going to collect another sonnet
Outro retrato em branco e preto
Another portrait in black and white
A maltratar meu coração
Mistreating my heart
