Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Bonde do Dom by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Sigo pensando em você
I keep thinking about you
Fico tão leve que não levo padecer
I'm so light that I don't have to suffer
Trabalho em samba e não posso reclamar
I work in samba and I can't complain
Vivo cantando só para te tocar
I live singing just to touch you
Vivo pensando em casar
I live thinking about getting married
Juntar as rimas como um pobre popular
Put the rhymes together like a poor folk
Subir na vida com você em meu altar
Rise in life with you at my altar
Sigo tocando só para te cantar
I keep playing just to sing to you
É o bonde do dom que me leva
It's the tram of the gift that takes me
Os anjos que me carregam
The angels that carry me
Os automóveis que me cercam
The cars that surround me
Os santos que me projetam
The saints who design me
Nas asas do bem desse mundo
On the wings of good in this world
Carregam um quintal lá no fundo
Carry a backyard
A água do mar me bebe
Sea water drinks me
A sede de ti prossegue
Your thirst continues
A sede de ti
the seat of you
Sigo pensando em você
I keep thinking about you
Fico tão leve que não levo padecer
I'm so light that I don't have to suffer
Trabalho em samba e não posso reclamar
I work in samba and I can't complain
Vivo cantando só para te tocar
I live singing just to touch you
Vivo pensando em casar
I live thinking about getting married
Juntar as rimas como um pobre popular
Put the rhymes together like a poor folk
Subir na vida com você em meu altar
Rise in life with you at my altar
Sigo tocando só para te cantar
I keep playing just to sing to you
É o bonde do dom que me leva
It's the tram of the gift that takes me
Os anjos que me carregam
The angels that carry me
Os automóveis que me cercam
The cars that surround me
Os santos que me projetam
The saints who design me
Nas asas do bem desse mundo
On the wings of good in this world
Carregam um quintal lá no fundo
Carry a backyard
A água do mar me bebe
Sea water drinks me
A sede de ti prossegue
Your thirst continues
A sede de ti prossegue
Your thirst continues
A sede de ti
the seat of you
