Fátima Lyrics in English Jorge Palma
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fátima by Jorge Palma from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tu vieste pelo elevador, vinhas do andar de cima
You came by the elevator, vineyards from upstairs
Se é que não estou em erro
If I'm not in error
Habitávamos o mesmo prédio e eu achei-te apenas atraente
We lived in the same building and I found you just attractive
Nessa altura as coisas íam mal entre a minha mulher e eu
At that time things were going wrong between my wife and me
Foi ela quem te convidou
She's the one who invited you
Ou então foi um amigo comum e isso agora é indiferente
Or else it was a common friend and that's indifferent now
Sei que pouco depois a viagem que eu tinha andado a adiar
I know that shortly after the trip I had been delaying
Se concretizou
It came to fruition
Não chegamos a conher-nos bem, pelo menos nessa ocasião
We didn't get to conher well, at least on that occasion
Quando voltei dois anos mais tarde encontrei-te nas prais do sul
When I came back two years later I found you in the southern prais
Estavas resplandescente
You were resplendent
Com a vida a dançar-te no olhar ao mesmo tempo trágico e gozão
With life dancing you in the eyes at the same time tragic and gozão
Há momentos flagrantes
There are egregious moments
Em que o tempo é eterno
In which time is eternal
Há vestigisos do verão
There are summer vestigisos
Que o outono não pode apagar
That autumn can't erase
Há encontros que ficam
There are meetings that are
Na nossa memória
In our memory
Onde a luz é difusa
Where light is diffused
Onde a vida e a morte não se querem separar
Where life and death don't want to separate
Ainda tenho presente um jantar em que havia mais gente
I still have a dinner where there were more people
Mas não recordo quem
But I don't remember who
Entre o cheiro da sardinha e a loucuro do vinho sobresaiste tu
Between the smell of sardines and the praise of the wine you
Porque a certa altura houve um gesto teu, uma frase ou uma canção
Because at one point there was a gesture of yours, a phrase or a song
Provavelmente do alentejo
Probably alentejo
Foi isso mesmo, cantaste e o mundo ficou nu
That's right, you sang and the world got naked
E eu fiquei a saber de oude vens, tu saiste da cepa
And I heard of oude vens, you got out of the strain
Que a carne e o sangue veneram
That flesh and blood worship
Havias de achar muita graça se me ouvisses falar assim
You'd think it was very funny if you heard me talk like that
Nós não descobrimos nada, dir-me-ias tu, está tudo descoberto
We didn't find anything, you'd tell me, it's all discovered
Até a rota do cabo
Up to the cable route
Vamos antes brincar ao gato e ao rato até ao fim
Let's play the cat and the mouse to the end
Há momentos flagrantes
There are egregious moments
