Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tenho Sede by Gilberto Gil from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Traga-me um copo d'água, tenho sede
Bring me a glass of water, I'm thirsty
E essa sede pode me matar
And this thirst can kill me
Minha garganta pede um pouco d'água
My throat asks for some water
E os meus olhos pedem teu olhar
And my eyes ask for your look
A planta pede chuva quando quer brotar
The plant asks for rain when it wants to sprout
O céu logo escurece quando vai chover
The sky soon darkens when it's going to rain
Meu coração só pede o teu amor
My heart only asks for your love
Se não me deres posso até morrer
If you don't give it to me I might even die
Traga-me um copo d'água, tenho sede
Bring me a glass of water, I'm thirsty
E essa sede pode me matar
And this thirst can kill me
Minha garganta pede um pouco d'água
My throat asks for some water
E os meus olhos pedem teu olhar
And my eyes ask for your look
A planta pede chuva quando quer brotar
The plant asks for rain when it wants to sprout
O céu logo escurece quando vai chover
The sky soon darkens when it's going to rain
Meu coração só pede o teu amor
My heart only asks for your love
Se não me deres posso até morrer
If you don't give it to me I might even die
