Olhos De Catarina Lyrics in English Jorge Palma
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Olhos De Catarina by Jorge Palma from Portuguese to English.
Com um brilhozinho nos olhos
With a little sparkle in your eyes
E a saia rodada
And your skirt twirling
Escancaraste a porta do bar
You flung open the bar door
Trazias o cabelo aos ombros
You had your hair on your shoulders
Passeando de cá para lá
Walking back and forth
Como as ondas do mar
Like the waves of the sea
Conheço tão bem esses olhos
I know those eyes so well
E nunca me enganam
And they never deceive me
O que é que aconteceu diz lá
What happened, tell me
É que hoje fiz um amigo
It's just that today I made a friend
E coisa mais preciosa no mundo não há
And there's nothing more precious in the world
É que hoje fiz um amigo
It's just that today I made a friend
E coisa mais preciosa no mundo não há
And there's nothing more precious in the world
Com um brilhozinho nos olhos
With a little sparkle in your eyes
Metemos o carro
We put the cart
Muito à frente muito à frente dos bois
Way before the horse
Ou seja fizemos promessas
That is, we made promises
Trocamos retratos
We exchanged photos
Traçamos projetos a dois
We drew up plans for two
Trocamos de roupa trocamos de corpo
We exchanged clothes, we exchanged bodies
Trocamos de beijos tão bom é tão bom
We exchanged kisses, so good, it's so good
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Tocamos guitarra
We played guitar
Pelo menos a julgar pelo som
At least judging by the sound
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Tocamos guitarra
We played guitar
Pelo menos a julgar pelo som
At least judging by the sound
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Passa aí mais um bocadinho
Give me a little more
Que estou quase a ficar louco
'Cause I'm almost going crazy
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Portanto
Therefore
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Com um brilhozinho nos olhos
With a little sparkle in your eyes
Corremos os estores
We closed the blinds
Pusemos o rádio no on
We turned the radio on
Acendemos a já costumeira
We lit the usual
Velinha de igreja
Little church candle
Pusemos no off o telefone
We turned the phone off
E olha não dá para contar
And look, I can't tell you
Mas sei que tu sabes
But I know that you know
Daquilo que sabes que eu sei
Of what you know that I know
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Ficamos parados
We stood still
Depois do que não te contei
After what I didn't tell you
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Ficamos parados
We stood still
Depois do que não te contei
After what I didn't tell you
Com um brilhozinho nos olhos
With a little sparkle in your eyes
Dissemos sei la
We said, I don't know
O que nos passou pela tola
What went through our heads
Do estilo, és o number one
Like, you're the number one
Dou-te vinte valores
I give you a perfect score
És um treze no totobola
You're a perfect score in the football pool
E às duas por três
And just like that
Bebemos um copo
We drank a glass
Fizemos o quatro e pintamos o sete
We raised hell and had a blast
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Ficamos imoveis
We stayed still
A dar uma de tête a tête
Having a tête-à-tête
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Ficamos imoveis
We stayed still
A dar uma de tête a tête
Having a tête-à-tête
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Passa aí mais um bocadinho
Give me a little more
Que estou quase a ficar louco
'Cause I'm almost going crazy
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Portanto
Therefore
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
E com um brilhinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Tentamos saber
We tried to know
Para lá do que muito se amou
Beyond what was greatly loved
Quem éramos nós
Who we were
Quem queríamos ser
Who we wanted to be
E quais as esperanças
And what hopes
Que a vida roubou
That life stole
E olhei-o de longe
And I looked at him from afar
E mirei-o de perto
And I gazed at him up close
Que quem não vê caras
Because whoever doesn't see faces
Não vê corações
Doesn't see hearts
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Guardei um amigo
I kept a friend
Que é coisa que vale milhões
Which is something worth millions
E com um brilhozinho nos olhos
And with a little sparkle in our eyes
Guardei um amigo
I kept a friend
Que é coisa que vale milhões
Which is something worth millions
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
E o que é que foi que ele disse?
And what was it he said?
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little
Passa aí mais um bocadinho
Give me a little more
Que estou quase a ficar louco
'Cause I'm almost going crazy
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Hoje soube-me a tanto
Today felt like so much
Portanto
Therefore
Hoje soube-me a pouco
Today felt like too little

totobola — football pool / lottery
Totobola refers to a football pool or a lottery where participants bet on the outcomes of football matches. It's a very specific and culturally relevant term in Portugal, making it quite unique.
In the song, the lyric "És um treze no totobola" (You're a thirteen in the totobola) is a colloquial expression meaning someone is incredibly lucky or perfect, as getting all thirteen correct predictions in the totobola is a rare and highly sought-after win. This makes the word interesting for learners as it reveals a cultural idiom.
