Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Elas eram duas

They were two

Imagens tão distintas

Such distinct images

Não era por acaso

It wasn't by chance

Que, ao misturar suas tintas,

That, mixing their colors,

O dia era de uma

The day belonged to one

E a noite tão criança

And the night so childish

Só sei que as amava

All I know is that I loved them

Maestro de duas danças

Maestro of two dances


As duas eu amava, nenhuma eu traía

I loved them both, betrayed none

Promessas eram feitas, mas passavam como os dias

Promises were made but passed like days

Tentava acreditar, não era mal o que fazia

I tried to believe, it wasn't evil I was doing

Pois eramos felizes enquanto o tempo permitia,

For we were happy as long as time allowed,

Em quanto tempo ....

In how much time...


E a paixão talvez seja antes de tudo egoísta

And passion perhaps is selfish above all

Ou quem sabe, a traição me pareça oportunista

Or perhaps, betrayal seems opportunistic to me

Com duas dividia minhas longas, longas horas de agonia

With two, I shared my long, long hours of agony

E foi com grande dor que vi minhas juras aos meus olhos

And with great pain, I saw my vows before my eyes

Tornarem-se mentira

Turn into lies

Ora mulher, ora menina

Now a woman, now a girl

Se uma eu contemplava

If one I admired

A outra me fascina

The other fascinated me


Eu desejava as duas, não quis perder nenhuma

I desired both, didn't want to lose any

Deixei acontecer, juntei verdades e mentiras

I let it happen, I combined truths and lies

Talvez acreditasse serem simplesmente duas

Maybe I believed they were simply two

Metades de uma só

Halves of one

Enquanto o tempo permitia

As long as time allowed

Por quanto tempo...

For how long...
