Tradição Lyrics in English by Raquel Tavares

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tradição by Raquel Tavares from Portuguese to English.
Rosa, roda a saia
Pink, rotate skirt
O vento muda, empurra a moda
The wind changes, pushes fashion
Nem que a rosa caia
Even if the rose falls
Nada, nunca para a roda
Nothing, never for the wheel
Vai, rosa cobaia, arredonda-a bem
Go, pink guinea pig, round it well
Que essa tua saia já foi da tua mãe
That that skirt of yours was once your mother's
Já a mãe dela girava essa saia a tempo
Her mother was spinning her skirt in time
Contra o vento e contra o tempo
Against the wind and against time
Que faz girar o mundo
That makes the world go round
Nem que, em plena roda, a rosa caia
Even if, in full wheel, the rose falls
Vai, maria, canta
Go, maria, sing
Aos teus amores as dores de outrora
To your loves the pains of yore
Canta em agonia
Sing in agony
Outra que não é d'agora
Another that is not d'now
Vai, roda gigante, faz girar o mundo
Go, ferris wheel, make the world go round
Que é pedra que anda à roda e contraria aquela
Which is stone that runs around and contradicts that
Pedra que parou o peito de qualquer maria
Stone that stopped the chest... of any mary
E a rosa no seu posto ainda rodopia
And the rose at your post... still truni
E vai rodando a saia até qualquer dia
And it's going to rotate the skirt until any day
Vai, roda gigante, faz girar o mundo
Go, ferris wheel, make the world go round
Que é pedra que anda à roda e contraria aquela
Which is stone that runs around and contradicts that
Pedra que parou o peito de qualquer maria
Stone that stopped the breast of any mary
E a rosa no seu posto ainda rodopia
And the rose in her post still truni
E vai rodando a saia até qualquer dia
And it's going to rotate the skirt until any day
Rosa, roda a saia
Pink, rotate skirt
Roda a saia
Wheel skirt
Roda a saia
Wheel skirt
