Certas Coisas Lyrics in English Lulu Santos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Certas Coisas by Lulu Santos from Portuguese to English.
Não existiria som se não
Sound wouldn't exist if not
Houvesse o silêncio
For silence
Não haveria luz se não
Light wouldn't exist if not
Fosse a escuridão
For darkness
A vida é mesmo assim
Life is just like that
Dia e noite, não e sim
Day and night, no and yes
Cada voz que canta o amor
Every voice that sings of love
Não diz
Doesn't say
Tudo que quer dizer
Everything it wants to say
Tudo que cala
Everything that's silent
Fala mais
Speaks more
Alto ao coração
Loudly to the heart
Silenciosamente
Silently
Eu te falo com paixão
I speak to you with passion
Eu te amo calado
I love you silently
Como quem ouve uma sinfonia
Like someone listening to a symphony
De silêncio e de luz
Of silence and light
Nós somos medo e desejo
We are fear and desire
Somos feitos de silêncio e som
We're made of silence and sound
Tem certas coisas que eu não sei dizer
There are certain things I don't know how to say

Sinfonia — Symphony
Sinfonia translates to "symphony" in English. It's a beautiful and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In "Certas Coisas," Lulu Santos uses sinfonia to describe a profound and almost spiritual experience: "Eu te amo calado / Como quem ouve uma sinfonia / De silêncio e de luz" (I love you silently / Like one who hears a symphony / Of silence and light). This metaphorical use elevates the concept of love, suggesting a harmonious and deep connection that transcends spoken words.
