Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A franja da encosta cor de laranja, capim rosa chá

The fringe of the hillside, orange color, pink grass tea

O mel desses olhos luz, mel de cor ímpar

The honey of those eyes' light, honey of an odd color

O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra, a prata do trem

The gold still not quite green from the mountain, the silver of the train

A Lua e a estrela, anel de turquesa

The moon and the star, a turquoise ring


Os átomos todos dançam, madruga, reluz neblina

All atoms dance, dawn breaks, a shining mist

Crianças cor de romã entram no vagão

Pomegranate-colored children enter the wagon

O oliva da nuvem chumbo ficando, pra trás da manhã

The olive of the leaden cloud stays behind in the morning

E a seda azul do papel que envolve a maçã

And the blue silk of the paper that wraps the apple


As casas tão verde e rosa que vão passando ao nos ver passar

The houses so green and pink passing as we pass

Os dois lados da janela

Both sides of the window

E aquela num tom de azul quase inexistente, azul que não há

And that one in a tone of blue almost nonexistent, a blue that isn't there

Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar

Blue that is pure memory of some place


Teu cabelo preto, explícito objeto, castanhos lábios

Your black hair, explicit object, brown lips

Ou pra ser exato, lábios cor de açaí

Or to be exact, lips the color of açaí

E aqui, trem das cores, sábios projetos: Tocar na central

And here, train of colors, wise projects: Touching the center

E o céu de um azul, celeste celestial!

And the sky of a blue, celestial celestial!
