Travessia Lyrics in English Elis Regina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Travessia by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena
O meu peito percebeu
My heart realized
Que o mar é uma gota
That the sea is a drop
Comparado ao pranto meu
Compared to my tears
Fique certa
Be sure
Quando o nosso amor desperta
When our love awakens
Logo o sol se desespera
The sun immediately despairs
E se esconde lá na serra
And hides there in the mountains
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena
O que é meu não se divide
What's mine isn't divided
Nem tão pouco se admite
Nor is it tolerated
Quem do nosso amor duvide
Anyone who doubts our love
Até a lua
Even the moon
Se arrisca no palpite
Takes a chance on the guess
Que o nosso amor existe
That our love exists
Forte ou fraco
Strong or weak
Alegre ou triste
Happy or sad
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena
O meu peito percebeu
My heart realized
Que o mar é uma gota
That the sea is a drop
Comparado ao pranto meu
Compared to my tears
Fique certa
Be sure
Quando o nosso amor desperta
When our love awakens
Logo o sol se desespera
The sun immediately despairs
E se esconde lá na serra
And hides there in the mountains
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena
O que é meu não se divide
What's mine isn't divided
Nem tão pouco se admite
Nor is it tolerated
Quem do nosso amor duvide
Anyone who doubts our love
Até a lua
Even the moon
Se arrisca num palpite
Takes a chance on a guess
Que o nosso amor existe
That our love exists
Forte ou fraco
Strong or weak
Alegre ou triste
Happy or sad
Ê, ê, ê, Madalena
Hey, hey, hey, Madalena
Madalena
Madalena
Madalena
Madalena
Madalena
Madalena
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena
Ê, Madalena
Hey, Madalena

Did you like this lyrics translation?
pranto — weeping / tears
Pranto translates to "weeping" or "tears," but it carries a more poetic and intense connotation than common words like lágrimas (tears).
In the song, the lyric "o mar é uma gota Comparado ao pranto meu" (the sea is a drop Compared to my weeping) uses pranto to dramatically emphasize the depth of the singer's sorrow, making it a powerful and memorable word choice.
