Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Altos E Baixos by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Foi quem sabe
It was who knows
Esse risco de sombra em teus cílios
That streak of shadow on your eyelashes
Foi ou não meu poema no chão
Was it or wasn't my poem on the floor
Nossos filhos
Our children
As sandálias de saltos tão altos
Sandals with such high heels
O relógio batendo
The clock ticking
O sol posto
The setting sun
O relógio, as sandálias
The watch, the sandals
E eu batendo em teu rosto
And I hit your face
E a queda dos saltos tão altos
And the fall of heels so high
Sobre os nossos filhos
About our children
Com um raio de sangue no chão
With a streak of blood on the floor
Do risco em teus cílios
From the scratch on your eyelashes
Foram discos demais
There were too many records
Desculpas demais
Too many excuses
Já vão tarde essas tardes e mais tuas aulas
These afternoons are getting late, plus your classes
Meus táxis, uísque
My taxis, whiskey
Dietil, Diempax
Diethyl, Diempax
Mas há que se louvar entre altos e baixos
But you have to praise yourself between ups and downs
O amor quando traz tanta vida
Love when it brings so much life
Que até pra morrer leva tempo demais
That even dying takes too long
Que até pra morrer
That even to die
Leva tempo demais
It takes too long
