Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Modinha by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Não, não pode mais meu coração
No, you can no longer my heart
Viver assim dilacerado
Torn
Escravizado a uma ilusão
Enslaved to an illusion
Que é só desilusão
Which is just disappointment
Não seja a vida sempre assim
Don't be life always like this
Como um luar desesperado
As a desperate moonlight
A derramar melancolia em mim
To spill melancholy in me
Poesia em mim
Poetry in me
Vai, triste canção, sai do meu peito
Go, sad song, get out of my chest
E semeia emoção
And sows emotion
Que chora dentro do meu coração
That cries inside my heart
