Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Superhomem, A Canção by Gilberto Gil from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Um dia vivi a ilusão de que ser homem bastaria
One day I lived under the illusion that being a man would be enough
Que o mundo masculino tudo me daria
That the masculine world would give me everything
Do que eu quisesse ter
What I wanted to have
Que nada, minha porção mulher que até então se resguardara
That's nothing, my part, woman who until then had protected herself
É a porção melhor que trago em mim agora
It's the best portion I have in me now
É o que me faz viver
It's what makes me live
Quem dera pudesse todo homem compreender, ó mãe, quem dera
If only every man could understand, oh mother, if only
Ser o verão no apogeu da primavera
To be summer at the height of spring
E só por ela ser
And just because she is
Quem sabe o super-homem venha nos restituir a glória
Who knows, maybe Superman will come and restore our glory
Mudando como um Deus o curso da história
Changing the course of history like a God
Por causa da mulher
Because of the woman
Quem sabe o super-homem venha nos restituir a glória
Who knows, maybe Superman will come and restore our glory
Mudando como um deus o curso da história
Changing like a god the course of history
Por causa da mulher
Because of the woman
