Noutro Dia Lyrics Translation in English
Boa PraçaPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Ela tomou o café
She had coffee
Leu o jornal
Read the newspaper
Nessa manhã
On this morning
Ela fez tudo igual
She did everything the same
Abriu o portão
Opened the gate
Olhou para o céu
Looked at the sky
Retornou, pegou o chapéu
Returned, grabbed the hat
“Parece que vai chover”
"Looks like it's going to rain"
Quando viu chegar o trem na estação
When she saw the train arriving at the station
Fechou seu livro
Closed her book
Deu play numa canção
Played a song
E assim se espremeu dentro do vagão
And squeezed herself into the car
Estação após estação
Station after station
Sibilava os refrões dos fones
Humming the refrains from the headphones
Entre as multidões
Among the crowds
Da sua mesa
From her desk
Ela viu a chuva chegar
She saw the rain arrive
Tinha projetos
Had projects
Croquis pra terminar
Sketches to finish
E o seu dia cinza assim transcorreu
And her gray day unfolded like this
Desenhou, cortou, escreveu
She drew, cut, wrote
Pra tudo sair do papel
For everything to come off paper
E outra vez olhou pro céu
And once again, she looked at the sky
Chovia ralo
It was drizzling lightly
Chega de trabalho!
Enough work!
Do oitavo andar desceu
From the eighth floor, she descended
O seu guarda-chuva mal lhe protegia
Her umbrella poorly protected her
Xingou quem lhe vendeu
Cursed the one who sold it to her
Caminhou, depois correu da chuva
She walked, then ran from the rain
Que apertava a cada passo seu
Which intensified with each step
Esmagada outra vez
Crushed again
Na composição Santa Cruz
In the Santa Cruz composition
O céu descortinou parcas matizes azuis
The sky revealed scant blue hues
A chuva refreou
The rain slowed down
Como assim sempre faz
As it always does
Um botão de random
A random button
Trocando dias iguais
Exchanging identical days
(Tão complexa a memória
(So complex the memory
Reestrutura, reelabora os sentimentos
Restructures, reworks the feelings
Seleciona, faz-lhe um sonho
Selects, makes it a dream
Pra que ela pense
So that she thinks
Amanhã
Tomorrow
Logo assim que acordar
As soon as she wakes up
Que estará noutro dia)
That she'll be in another day)
