Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Todos os dias passeava secamente na soleira do

Every day he walked dryly on the doorstep of

quintal

the backyard

À hora morta, pedra morta, agonia e as laranjas do

At the dead hour, dead stone, agony and the oranges of

quintal

the backyard

A vida ia entre o muro e as paredes de silêncio

Life went by between the wall and the walls of silence

E os cães que vigiavam o seu sono não dormiam

And the dogs that watched over his sleep did not sleep

Viam sombras no ar, viam sombras no jardim

They saw shadows in the air, they saw shadows in the garden

A lua morta, noite morta, ventania e um rosário sobre

The dead moon, dead night, gusts of wind and a rosary on

o chão

the ground

E um incêndio amarelo e provisório consumia o coração

And a yellow and temporary fire consumed the heart

E começou a procurar pelas fogueiras lentamente

And he began to search for bonfires slowly

E o seu coração já não temia as chamas do inferno

And his heart no longer feared the flames of hell

E das trevas sem fim. Haveria de chegar o amor.

And from endless darkness. Love would come.
