Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Espalha Brasas by Cláudia Pascoal from Portuguese to English.

You

Devias ter algo aqui para brindar

You should have something here to toast

Comigo

With me

Pôr

Put

Aquele som e uma velinha a inspirar

That sound and a little candle to inspire

Quentinho

Warmth

Mas tu

But you

Tu gaguejas

You stutter

Tu hesitas

You hesitate

Tu bloqueias

You block

Tremelicas

You tremble

Tu p'ra isto não tens jeitinho nenhum

You have no knack for this at all

You

Podias vir sentar-te aqui neste sofá

Could come sit here on this couch

Mais perto

Closer

Pôr

Put

Um dedo junto à minha pele, incendiar

A finger next to my skin, ignite

O resto

The rest

Mas tu

But you

Tu engasgas

You choke

Tu suspiras

You sigh

Tu tropeças

You stumble

E transpiras

And sweat

Tu p'ra isto não tens jeitinho nenhum

You have no knack for this at all

E sou eu

And it's me

Quem te atira para trás

Who pushes you back

Quem a tua cama desfaz

Who messes up your bed

E muito embora

And even though

Queiras ter tudo no seu lugar

You want everything in its place

Eu não vim para arrumar

I didn't come to tidy up

Desculpa lá

Sorry

Despentear-te um bocadinho

To mess up your hair a little

Amarrotar-te a camisa engomada

Wrinkle your ironed shirt

Se não for eu a espalhar as brasas todas

If it's not me spreading all the embers

Tu não mexes uma palha

You won't lift a finger

You

Tu e tal' ai amanhã vais acordar

You and such, tomorrow you'll wake up

Tão cedo

So early

And

O que será que o prédio todo vai pensar

What will the whole building think

Se eu gemo

If I moan

Pois tu

Because you

Tu vacilas

You falter

Tu receias

You fear

Tu refilas

You complain

E esperneias

And kick

Tu p'ra isto não tens jeitinho nenhum

You have no knack for this at all

You

Agora tens uma razão p'ra me culpar

Now have a reason to blame me

Eu sei

I know

Mas quem

But who

É que vai dar lençóis da cama p'ra lavar

Will take the sheets off the bed to wash

À mãe?

Your mother?

E tu

And you

Tu explodes

You explode

Enfureces

Get angry

Mas bocejas

But yawn

E adormeces

And fall asleep

Tu p'ra isto não tens jeitinho nenhum

You have no knack for this at all

E sou eu

And it's me

Quem te atira para trás

Who pushes you back

Quem a tua cama desfaz

Who messes up your bed

E muito embora

And even though

Queiras ter tudo no seu lugar

You want everything in its place

Eu não vim para arrumar

I didn't come to tidy up

Desculpa lá

Sorry

Despentear-te um bocadinho

To mess up your hair a little

Amarrotar-te a camisa engomada

Wrinkle your ironed shirt

Se não for eu a espalhar as brasas todas

If it's not me spreading all the embers

Tu não mexes uma palha

You won't lift a finger

E sou eu

And it's me

Quem te atira para trás

Who pushes you back

Quem a tua cama desfaz

Who messes up your bed

E muito embora

And even though

Queiras ter tudo no seu lugar

You want everything in its place

Eu não vim para arrumar

I didn't come to tidy up

E sou eu

And it's me

Quem te atira para trás

Who pushes you back

Quem a tua cama desfaz

Who messes up your bed

E muito embora

And even though

Queiras ter tudo no seu lugar

You want everything in its place

Eu não vim para arrumar

I didn't come to tidy up

E sou eu

And it's me

Quem te atira para trás

Who pushes you back

Quem a tua cama desfaz

Who messes up your bed

E muito embora

And even though

Queiras ter tudo no seu lugar

You want everything in its place

Eu não vim para arrumar

I didn't come to tidy up
