Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Nossa festa era tão certa, pés no chão

Our party was so certain, feet on the ground

Nós dois desertos de confetes e solidão

Both of us deserts of confetti and loneliness

De mudanças, tantas juras

Of changes, so many vows


Eu deixei em cada curva desse chão, tanto pranto

I left in every curve of this land, so much weeping

De cavaco minhas mãos, cada palmo de amargura

With my hands on the cavaquinho, every span of bitterness

Mas o amor é como um pássaro

But love is like a bird

Mais no ar que pé no chão

More in the air than on the ground


Se a razão quis rastejar, o amor quis bater asas

If reason wanted to crawl, love wanted to spread its wings

Eu não pude dizer não

I couldn't say no


E caí pra aquela altura, e eu renasci por lá

And I fell to that height, and I was reborn there

Pratiei o céu inteiro, fiz da quarta-feira cinza

I painted the entire sky, made Wednesday gray

Mais um dia pra dançar

Another day to dance


E eu dancei pisando em nuvens, e eu sonhei poder voar

And I danced stepping on clouds, and I dreamed of being able to fly

E você no céu de argila, fez meu peito uma avenida

And you in the clay sky made my chest an avenue

Para o carnaval passar

For the carnival to pass
