These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
É a sua vida que eu quero bordar na minha
It's your life that I want to embroider on mine
Como se eu fosse o pano e você fosse a linha
As if I were the cloth and you were the line
E a agulha do real nas mãos da fantasia
And the needle of reality in the hands of fantasy
Fosse bordando ponto a ponto nosso dia-a-dia
If we were embroidering our daily lives point by point
E fosse aparecendo aos poucos nosso amor
And our love gradually appeared
Os nossos sentimentos loucos, nosso amor
Our crazy feelings, our love
O zig-zag do tormento, as cores da alegria
The zig-zag of torment, the colors of joy
A curva generosa da compreensão
The generous curve of understanding
Formando a pétala da rosa, da paixão
Forming the petal of the rose, of passion
A sua vida o meu caminho, nosso amor
Your life my path, our love
Você a linha e eu o linho, nosso amor
You are the line and I am the linen, our love
Nossa colcha de cama, nossa toalha de mesa
Our bedspread, our tablecloth
Reproduzidos no bordado
Reproduced in embroidery
A casa, a estrada, a correnteza
The house, the road, the stream
O sol, a ave, a árvore, o ninho da beleza
The sun, the bird, the tree, the nest of beauty
