Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Trocando Em Miúdos by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eu vou lhe dar a medida do bonfim
I'll give you the measure of the bonfim
Não me valeu
It wasn't worth me
Mas fico com o disco do pixinguinha, sim?
But I get the pixinguinha record, yes?
O resto é seu
The rest is yours
Trocando em miúdos, pode guardar
By trading in kids, you can keep
As sobras de tudo que chamam lar
The leftovers of everything they call home
As sombras de tudo que fomos nós
The shadows of all that was us
As marcas de amor nos nossos lençóis
The love marks on our sheets
As nossas melhores lembranças
Our best memories
Aquela esperança de tudo se ajeitar
That hope of everything to settle
Pode esquecer
You can forget
Aquela aliança, você pode empenhar
That alliance, you can commit
Mas devo dizer que não vou lhe dar
But I must say I won't give you
O enorme prazer de me ver chorar
The enormous pleasure of watching me cry
Nem vou lhe cobrar pelo seu estrago
I won't even charge you for your damage
Meu peito tão dilacerado
My chest so torn
Aceite uma ajuda do seu futuro amor
Accept a help from your future love
Devolva o neruda que você me tomou
Give me back the neruda you took me
E nunca leu
And you've never read
Eu bato o portão sem fazer alarde
I knock the gate without making a fuss
Eu levo a carteira
I'll take the wallet
Muita saudade
Much longing
E a leve impressão de que já vou tarde
And the slight impression that I'm late
