Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Sonho Mais by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Hoje eu sonhei contigo
Today I dreamt of you
Tanta desdita amor nem te digo
So much love i don't even tell you
Tanto castigo que eu estava aflita
So much punishment that I was distressed
Foi um sonho medonho
It was a ghastly dream
Desses que às vezes a gente sonha
Of those that sometimes we dream
E baba na fronha
And drool on the pillowcase
E se urina toda
And if it pees all over
E quer sufocar
And he wants to suffocate
Meu amor vi chegando
My love saw coming
Um trem de candango
A candango train
Formando um bando, mas que era um bando
Forming a flock, but that was a bunch
De orangotango pra te pegar
From orangutan to get you
Vinha nego humilhado
Black vine humiliated
Vinha morto-vivo
Undead vine
Vinha flagelado
Flagellate vineyard
De tudo que é lado
Of all that is side
Vinha um bom motivo
There was a good reason
Pra te esfolar
To skin you
Quanto mais tu corria, mais tu ficava
The more you ran, the more you stayed
Mais atolava, mais te sujava
The more it got toyou, the more you got dirty
Amor, tu fedia, empesteava o ar
Love, you shone, empesteava the air
Tu que foi tão valente
You who were so brave
Chorou pra gente
Cried for us
Pediu piedade
He asked for mercy
E olha, que maldade
And look, what a wicked
Me deu vontade de gargalhar
It made me want to laugh
Ao pé da ribanceira
At the foot of the cliff
Acabou-se a liça
No more information
E escarrei-te inteira
And I've scarnaded you whole
E tinha justiça nesse escarrar
And there was justice in that spit
Te rasgamo a carcaça
We tear you the carcass
Descemo a ripa
We go down the slat
Viramo as tripa
I turn the guts
Comemo os ovo
We eat the eggs
Ai, aquele povo
Ai, those people
Pôs-se a cantar
He started singing
Foi um sonho medonho
It was a ghastly dream
Desses que às vezes a gente sonha
Of those that sometimes we dream
E baba na fronha e se urina toda
And drool in the pillowcase and urine all over
E já não tem paz
And there's no peace
Pois eu sonhei contigo
For I dreamed of you
E caí da cama
And I fell out of bed
Ai, amor, não briga
Ai, love, don't fight
Ai, não me castiga
Ad, don't punish me
Ai, diz que me ama
Ai, say you love me
E eu não sonho mais
And I don't dream anymore
