Lyrics of Luas Brancas - Aldina Duarte

Luas Brancas (original)

Eram tantas, tantas luas
Que eu despi da tua voz
Todas brancas, todas tuas
Todas por estarmos sós
Eram aves, eram tantas
Nos dedos da tua mão
Era o eco nas gargantas
Das palavras que não são
Era a dança das marés
O mar bravo e seu reverso
Eram tudo o que tu és
O pulsar do universo
E depois, era mais nada
E mais nada acontecia
Era quase madrugada
Quando o mundo adormecia

(translation)

There were so many, so many moons
That I stripped of your voice
All white, all yours
All for being alone
There were birds, there were so many
On the fingers of your hand
It was the echo in the throats
Of the words that are not
It was the dance of the tides
The wild sea and its reverse
Were everything you are
The pulsing of the universe
And afterwards, it was nothing more
And nothing else happened
It was almost dawn
When the world fell asleep
