English Translation

Borboleta triste de asas reluzentes

Sad butterfly with shining wings

O que na alma sente não sei decifrar

I don't know how to decipher what you feel in your soul

Talvez seja anseio de um amor oculto

Maybe it's the longing for a hidden love

Que ficou sepulto com a dor de amar

That was buried with the pain of love


Borboleta triste de azulada asas

Sad butterfly with wings of blue

Por que tu não casas tua dor a minha

Why don't you marry your pain with mine?

Viver a procura de um perdido sonho

Living in search of a lost dream

Eu também tristonho busco a paz que tinhas

I also, saddened, seek the peace you had


Vejo que divaga na distância a fora

I see that you wander into the distance

Procurando auroras de ilusões distintas

Seeking dawns of different illusions

Quando despedires alerta meus passos

When you bid farewell, alert my steps

Talvez nos meus braços outro amor pressinta

Perhaps in my arms, another love will sense


De um amor antigo vives prisioneira

You live as a prisoner of an old love

E tens por companheira erma solidão

And you have loneliness as a companion

Como tu que ocultas tua dor no cofre

Like you, who hide your pain in a chest

Também clama e sofre o meu coração

My heart also cries and suffers


Saibas que padeço dores tem alivio

Know that I suffer, pains have relief

Buscando convívio nas esquivas aves

Seeking companionship in elusive birds

Sinto as mesmas dores que tu sentes na alma

I feel the same pains that you feel in your soul

Sem fluir a calma das manhãs suaves

Without the calmness of gentle mornings


O meu sofrimento talvez compreenda

Perhaps you understand my suffering

E por novas vendas leves o meu ser

And with new bonds, lighten my being

Borboletas triste se comigo casas

Sad butterflies, if you marry me

Sobre tuas asas desejo morrer

I wish to die on your wings
