Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bem Leve by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Bem leve leve, releve
Very light, light
Quem pouse a pele em cima de madeira
Who lays the skin on top of wood
Beira beira, quem dera, mera mera, cadeira
Beira, wish, mere mere, chair
Mas breve breve, revele
But soon soon, reveal
Vele, vele quem pese, dos pés à caveira
Sail, sail who weighs, from the feet to the skull
Dali da beira uma palavra cai no chão
From the edge a word falls to the ground
Caixão dessa maneira
casket this way
Uma palavra de madeira em cada mão
A wooden word in each hand
Imbuia, Cerejeira
walnut, cherry
Bem leve leve, releve
Very light, light
Quem pouse a pele em cima de madeira
Who lays the skin on top of wood
Beira beira, quem dera, mera mera, cadeira
Beira, wish, mere mere, chair
Mas breve breve, revele
But soon soon, reveal
Vele vele quem pese dos pés à caveira
Sail who weighs from head to toe
Jacarandá, Peroba, Pinho, Jatobá
Jacaranda, Peroba, Pine, Jatoba
Cabreúva, Garapera
Cabreúva, Garapera
Uma palavra de madeira cai no chão
A wooden word falls to the ground
Caixão dessa maneira
casket this way
Bem leve leve, releve
Very light, light
Quem pouse a pele em cima de madeira
Who lays the skin on top of wood
Beira beira, quem dera, mera mera, cadeira
Beira, wish, mere mere, chair
Mas breve breve, revele
But soon soon, reveal
Vele, vele quem pese, dos pés à caveira
Sail, sail who weighs, from the feet to the skull
Dali da beira uma palavra cai no chão
From the edge a word falls to the ground
Caixão dessa maneira
casket this way
Uma palavra de madeira em cada mão
A wooden word in each hand
Imbuia, Cerejeira
walnut, cherry
Jacarandá, Peroba, Pinho, Jatobá
Jacaranda, Peroba, Pine, Jatoba
Cabreúva, Garapera
Cabreúva, Garapera
Uma palavra de madeira cai no chão
A wooden word falls to the ground
Caixão, dessa maneira
casket, that way
