Mente Ao Meu Coração Lyrics in English by Maria Rita
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mente Ao Meu Coração by Maria Rita from Portuguese to English.
Mente ao meu coração
Lie to my heart
Que cansado de sofrer
That's tired of suffering
Só deseja adormecer
Only wishes to fall asleep
Na palma da tua mão
In the palm of your hand
Conta ao meu coração
Tell my heart
Estória das crianças
A children's story
Para que ele reviva
So it can relive
As velhas esperanças
The old hopes
Mente ao meu coração
Lie to my heart
Mentiras cor-de-rosa
Rosy lies
Que as mentiras de amor
That lies of love
Não deixam cicatrizes
Don't leave scars
E tu és a mentira mais gostosa
And you are the sweetest lie
De todas as mentiras que tu dizes Mente ao meu coração
Of all the lies you tell, lie to my heart
Que cansado de sofrer
That's tired of suffering
Só deseja adormecer
Only wishes to fall asleep
Na palma da tua mão
In the palm of your hand
Conta ao meu coração
Tell my heart
Estória das crianças
A children's story
Para que ele reviva
So it can relive
As velhas esperanças
The old hopes
Mente ao meu coração
Lie to my heart
Mentiras cor-de-rosa
Rosy lies
Que as mentiras de amor
That lies of love
Não deixam cicatrizes
Don't leave scars
E tu és a mentira mais gostosa
And you are the sweetest lie
De todas as mentiras que tu dizes
Of all the lies you tell
Did you like this lyrics translation?
cor-de-rosa — rose-colored / pink
Cor-de-rosa literally translates to "color of rose" or "pink". It's a charming and slightly more poetic way to say "pink" in Portuguese, often carrying connotations of sweetness, innocence, or even a romanticized view.
In the song, it appears in the phrase "Mentiras cor-de-rosa" (rose-colored lies). This evokes the idea of harmless, beautiful lies, or perhaps lies that paint a more optimistic picture, making them more palatable and less damaging than harsh truths. It's an evocative phrase that captures the song's theme of desiring comforting illusions.
