Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Conceição by Rui Veloso from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ela não entra no café sozinha
She doesn't go into the café alone
Tem um bloqueio um modo de ser
There is a lock on a way to be
Ela tem um receio do que possam dizer
She's afraid of what they might say
Que alguém lhe passou quando era menina
That someone passed on to you when you were a little girl
E como coisas boas nunca ninguém ensina
And how good things no one ever teaches
Ela cora por tudo e por nada
She blushes for everything and nothing
Olhos nos olhos olhos no chão
Eyes in eyes eyes on the floor
Qualquer coisa a embaraça
Anything embarrasses her
Essa conceição
This conception
Não sei que lhe faça
I don't know what to do with you
E é uma pena que aquele corpo
And it's a shame that that body
É todo lume lenha de arder
It's all burning firewood
Mesmo a pedir mão de mexer
Even asking for a moving hand
O amor enviou-me, sou seu missionário
Love sent me, I'm your missionary
Vim mudar a tua sina
I've come to change your bell
Arejar o teu coração
Air your heart
Guardado em naftalina
Stored in mothballs
Did you know?
