Noite Sem Luar Lyrics Translation in English
Beto GuedesPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Vi no horizonte azul a tarde desmaiar
Saw the blue horizon as the afternoon faded
E a noite aproximar
And the night approaching
Enchendo de tristeza a solidão do mar
Filling the loneliness of the sea with sadness
Roubando à natureza a luz crepuscular
Stealing from nature the twilight light
E à sós no meu jardim cismava a divisar
Alone in my garden, I pondered to behold
Na noite sem luar
In the moonless night
A vela que singrando o oceano imenso
The candle that, sailing the immense ocean
Levava para além o meu querido bem
Took my beloved far away
Foi que então veio a saudade e eu chorei
It was then that longing came, and I cried
Depois, com lágrimas nos olhos, eu jurei
Then, with tears in my eyes, I swore
Jamais prender-me por amor
Never to imprison myself for love
No cárcere cruel da dor
In the cruel prison of pain
