Autopsicografia Lyrics Translation in English
Tom Jobim
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
O poeta é um fingidor.
The poet is a pretender.
Finge tão completamente
Pretends so completely
Que chega a fingir que é dor
That he even pretends it's pain
A dor que deveras sente.
The pain he truly feels.
E os que lêem o que escreve,
And those who read what he writes,
Na dor lida sentem bem,
In the pain read, they feel well,
Não as duas que ele teve,
Not the two pains he had,
Mas só a que eles não têm.
But only the one they don't have.
E assim nas calhas de roda
And so in the grooves of the wheel
Gira, a entreter a razão,
It turns, entertaining reason,
Esse comboio de corda
This clockwork train
Que se chama coração.
That is called the heart.
