Pássara Lyrics Translation in English
Chico Buarque
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
E aí
And there
Ela cisma de voltar
She insists on coming back
Sorri
She smiles
Quase pra te provocar
Almost to provoke you
Sim, goza tal felicidade
Yes, she enjoys such happiness
Que tu vais ter que te amargar
That you'll have to feel bitter
Vais perseguir a maldita
You'll pursue the damned one
Vais insultá-la na rua
You'll insult her in the street
Vais jogar pedras na lua
You'll throw stones at the moon
Vais montar uma guarita
You'll set up a lookout
Pra que aquela esquisita
So that weird one
Não se atreva a voltar
Doesn't dare to come back
E aí, e aí, e aí
And there, and there, and there
E aí
And there
Ela cisma de voltar
She insists on coming back
Sorri
She smiles
Quase pra te perdoar
Almost to forgive you
Sim, exala tal liberdade
Yes, she exhales such freedom
Que não podes mais tolerar
That you can't tolerate anymore
Vai manchar tuas verdades
She'll stain your truths
Vai se enfiar no teu leito
She'll slip into your bed
Trair-te no teu próprio peito
Betray you in your very bosom
Vai quebrar todas as grades
She'll break all the barriers
De que um homem é feito
Of what a man is made
Pra esquecer de voar
To forget to fly
E aí, e aí, e aí
And there, and there, and there
E aí
And there
Ela cisma de voltar
She insists on coming back
Sorri
She smiles
Quase pra te convidar
Almost to invite you
Quase pra te convencer
Almost to convince you
Quase pra te complicar
Almost to complicate your life
Quase pra te confundir
Almost to confuse you
Mesmo pra te enlouquecer
Even to drive you mad
Mesmo pra te despertar
Even to awaken you
E aí
And there
