Beirã Lyrics in English Rui Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Beirã by Rui Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Quero ir à tua terra
I want to go to your land
Beirã
Border
Onde correm fios de água
Where streams of water run
Entre goivos e hortelã
Between wallflowers and mint
Ensina-me a distinguir
Teach me to distinguish
O melro da cotovia
The lark's blackbird
Nunca soube o que era ouvir
I never knew what it was like to hear
O galo a anunciar o dia
The rooster announcing the day
Tília trevo e açafrão
Linden clover and saffron
Erva pura pimentão
Pure chili herb
Louro salsa e cidreira
Parsley and lemon balm
Urze brava e dormideira
Wild and wild heather
Vou pedir para me levares
I'll ask you to take me
Ao teu mais secreto atalho
To your most secret shortcut
Pra lá de hortas e pomares
Beyond vegetable gardens and orchards
Entre pólen e orvalho
Between pollen and dew
Revela-me os teus segredos
Reveal your secrets to me
As geleias e os licores
Jellies and liqueurs
Quero contigo aprender
I want to learn from you
Cheiros ervas e flores
Smells of herbs and flowers
Tília trevo e açafrão
Linden clover and saffron
Erva pura pimentão
Pure chili herb
Louro salsa e cidreira
Parsley and lemon balm
Urze brava e dormideira
Wild and wild heather
Vai fiando a tua roca
Go spinning your spinning wheel
De adágios e tecidos
Of adages and fabrics
Quero ouvir da tua boca
I want to hear it from your mouth
Os assombros mais antigos
The oldest hauntings
Sou um pobre cidadão
I'm a poor citizen
Perdi o fio de mim
I lost track of myself
Um bichinho do betão
A concrete animal
Que nunca viu o alecrim
Who has never seen rosemary
Tília trevo e açafrão
Linden clover and saffron
Erva pura pimentão
Pure chili herb
Louro salsa e cidreira
Parsley and lemon balm
Urze brava e dormideira
Wild and wild heather
