Bairro Do Oriente Lyrics in English Rui Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bairro Do Oriente by Rui Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Tenho à janela
I have it at the window
Uma velha cornucópia
An old cornucopia
Cheia de alfazema
Full of lavender
E orquídeas da etiópia
And orchids from Ethiopia
Tenho um transistor ao pé da cama
I have a transistor at the foot of the bed
Com sons de harpas e oboés
With sounds of harps and oboes
E cantigas de outras terras
And songs from other lands
Que percorri de lés-a-lés
That I traveled from end to end
Tenho uma lamparina
I have a lamp
Que trouxe das arábias
That I brought from Arabia
Para te amar à luz do azeite
To love you in the light of oil
Num kamasutra de noites sábias
In a kamasutra of wise nights
Tenho junto ao psyché
I have it next to psyché
Um grande cachimbo d'água
A large water pipe
Que sentados no canapé
That sitting on the sofa
Fumamos ao cair da mágoa
We smoke when we feel sad
Tenho um astrolábio
I have an astrolabe
Que me deram beduínos
That Bedouins gave me
Para medir no firmamento
To measure in the firmament
Os teus olhos astralinos
Your astral eyes
Vem vem à minha casa
Come come to my house
Rebolar na cama e no jardim
Rolling around in bed and in the garden
Acender a ignomínia
Light the ignominy
E a má língua do código pasquim
And the bad language of the gossip code
Que nos condena numa alínea
That condemns us in a paragraph
A ter sexo de querubim
Having cherub sex
