Um Beijo Lyrics Translation in English

Foste o beijo melhor da minha vida,

You were the best kiss of my life,

Ou talvez o pior...glória e tormento,

Or perhaps the worst... glory and torment,

Contigo à luz subi do firmamento,

With you, I ascended into the light of the firmament,

Contigo fui pela infernal descida!

With you, I descended through infernal depths!

Morreste, e o meu desejo não te olvida:

You died, and my desire does not forget you:

Queimas-me o sangue, enches-me o pensamento,

You burn my blood, fill my thoughts,

E do teu gosto amargo me alimento,

And I feed on your bitter taste,

E rolo-te na boca malferida.

And I roll you in my wounded mouth.

Beijo extremo, meu prêmio e meu castigo,

Extreme kiss, my reward and my punishment,

Batismo e extrema-unção, naquele instante

Baptism and extreme unction, in that moment

Por que, feliz, eu não morri contigo?

Why, happy, did I not die with you?

Sinto-te o ardor, e o crepitar te escuto,

I feel your warmth, and I hear the crackling,

Beijo divino! E anseio, delirante,

Divine kiss! And I long, delirious,

Na perpétua saudade de um minuto...

In perpetual longing for a minute...
