Cheiro de Rosa Lyrics Translation in English

abri a porta, varri a soleira e parei no tempo

I opened the door, swept the threshold, and stopped in time

vi o calor afastar toda a sombra

I saw the warmth push away all the shadows

da noite que passou

from the night that passed

joguei no sol almofada colchão travesseiro

I threw pillows, mattress, and pillow into the sun

lavei as janelas com pano macio

I washed the windows with a soft cloth

pus água nas jarras à espera das flores

I filled the vases, waiting for the flowers

ah, esse cheiro de rosa no ar,

Ah, that scent of roses in the air,

esse cheiro de rosa no ar

that scent of roses in the air

sempre o mesmo

lavei o rosto me olhei pelo espelho

I washed my face, looked at myself in the mirror

e pintei na boca

and painted on my mouth

rubro carmim derramado

crimson spilled carmine

um sorriso espantado a me espiar

a surprised smile peeking at me

gota de sangue na ponta do dedo

a drop of blood on the tip of the finger

que brilha e que espalha o vermelho

that shines and spreads the red

num risco traçado bordado apagado

in a traced embroidered faded line

nas marcas do tempo

ah, esse cheiro de rosa no ar,

Ah, that scent of roses in the air,

esse cheiro de rosa no ar

sempre o mesmo

vendo morrer cada hora

arrastando quebrada a asa do agora

Dragging broken the wing of now

no instante partido o momento que espera

a chegada da aurora

ah, esse cheiro de rosa no ar,

Ah, that scent of roses in the air,

esse cheiro de rosa no ar

agora...
