Dura Na Queda Lyrics Translation in English
Elza SoaresPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Perdida
Lost
Na avenida
On the avenue
Canta seu enredo
Singing its story
Fora do carnaval
Outside of carnival
Perdeu a saia
Lost her skirt
Perdeu o emprego
Lost her job
Desfila natural
Marching naturally
Esquinas
Corners
Mil buzinas
A thousand horns
Imagina orquestras
Imagining orchestras
Samba no chafariz
Samba at the fountain
Viva a folia
Long live the revelry
A dor não presta
Pain is no good
Felicidade, sim
Happiness, yes
O Sol ensolarará a estrada dela
The Sun will shine her path
A Lua alumiará o mar
The Moon will light the sea
A vida é bela
Life is beautiful
O Sol, estrada amarela
The Sun, yellow road
E as ondas, as ondas, as ondas, as ondas
And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
Bambeia
Wobbling
Cambaleia
Staggering
É dura na queda
She's tough
Custa a cair em si
Hard to realize
Largou família
Left her family
Bebeu veneno
Drank poison
E vai morrer de rir
And will die laughing
Vagueia
Wanders
Devaneia
Daydreams
Já apanhou à beça
Has taken a lot of hits
Mas para quem sabe olhar
But for those who know how to look
A flor também é
The flower is also
Ferida aberta
An open wound
E não se vê chorar
And you don't see it cry
O Sol ensolarará a estrada dela
The Sun will shine her path
A Lua alumiará o mar
The Moon will light the sea
A vida é bela
Life is beautiful
O Sol, estrada amarela
The Sun, yellow road
E as ondas, as ondas, as ondas, as ondas
And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
