Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Amor Não Me Engana by Dulce Pontes from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Que amor não me engana com a sua brandura
That love doesn't deceive me with its softness
Se d'antiga chama mal vive a amargura
If the old flame barely lives with bitterness
Numa mancha negra numa pedra fria
In a black spot on a cold stone
Que amor não se entrega na noite vazia
That love is not given in the empty night
E as vozes embargam num silêncio aflito
And the voices choke in a distressed silence
Quanto mais se apartam
The more they move apart
Mais se ouve o seu grito
But you hear your scream
Muito à flor das águas noite marinheira
Very open to the sea at night
Vem devagarinho para a minha beira
Come slowly to my side
Em novas coutadas junto de uma hera
In new forests next to an ivy
Nascem flores vermelhas pela primavera
Red flowers appear in spring
Assim tu souberas irmã cotovia
So you would know, sister lark
Dizer-me se esperas o nascer do dia
Tell me if you wait for the dawn
E as vozes embargam num silêncio aflito
And the voices choke in a distressed silence
Quanto mais se apartam
The more they move apart
Mais se ouve o seu grito
But you hear your scream
Muito à flor das águas noite marinheira
Very open to the sea at night
Vem devagarinho para a minha beira
Come slowly to my side
