Dueto (part. Clara Buarque) Lyrics Translation in English
Chico Buarque
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Consta nos astros, nos signos, nos búzios
It's written in the stars, in the signs, in the cowrie shells
Eu li num anúncio, eu vi no espelho
I read it in an ad, I saw it in the mirror
Tá lá no evangelho, garantem os orixás
It's there in the gospel, affirmed by the orixás
Serás o meu amor, serás a minha paz
You will be my love, you will be my peace
Consta nos autos, nas bulas, nos dogmas
It's in the legal documents, in the papal bulls, in the dogmas
Eu fiz uma tese, eu li num tratado
I wrote a thesis, I read it in a treaty
Está computado nos dados oficiais
It's recorded in the official data
Serás o meu amor, serás a minha paz
You will be my love, you will be my peace
Mas se a ciência provar o contrário
But if science proves otherwise
E se o calendário nos contrariar
And if the calendar contradicts us
Mas se o destino insistir em nos separar
But if destiny insists on separating us
Danem-se os astros, os autos, os signos, os dogmas
To hell with the stars, the legal documents, the signs, the dogmas
Os búzios, as bulas, anúncios, tratados, ciganas, projetos
The cowrie shells, the papal bulls, ads, treaties, gypsies, projects
Profetas, sinopses, espelhos, conselhos
Prophets, synopses, mirrors, advice
Se dane o evangelho e todos os orixás
To hell with the gospel and all the orixás
Serás o meu amor, serás, amor, a minha paz
You will be my love, you will be, love, my peace
Consta na pauta, no Karma, na carne
It's on the agenda, in Karma, in the flesh
Passou na novela, está no seguro, picharam no muro
It happened in the soap opera, it's in the insurance, they spray-painted on the wall
Mandei fazer um cartaz
I had a poster made
Serás o meu amor, serás a minha paz
You will be my love, you will be my peace
Mas se a ciência provar o contrário
But if science proves otherwise
E se o calendário nos contrariar
And if the calendar contradicts us
Mas se o destino insistir em nos separar
But if destiny insists on separating us
Danem-se os astros, os autos, os signos, os dogmas
To hell with the stars, the legal documents, the signs, the dogmas
Os búzios, as bulas, anúncios, tratados, ciganas, projetos
The cowrie shells, the papal bulls, ads, treaties, gypsies, projects
Profetas, sinopses, espelhos, conselhos
Prophets, synopses, mirrors, advice
Se dane o evangelho e todos os orixás
To hell with the gospel and all the orixás
Serás o meu amor, serás, amor, a minha paz
You will be my love, you will be, love, my peace
Consta nos mapas, nos lábios, nos lápis
It's on the maps, on the lips, on the pencils
Consta no Google, no Twitter, no Face
It's on Google, on Twitter, on Facebook
No Tinder, no WhatsApp, no Instagram
On Tinder, on WhatsApp, on Instagram
No e-mail, no Snapchat, no Orkut
On email, on Snapchat, on Orkut
No Telegram, no Skype
On Telegram, on Skype
