Lyrics of O Cachecol Do Fadista - Aldina Duarte

O Cachecol Do Fadista (original)

Peguei o arco-íris pelas pontas
E dei-lhe as duas voltas de um cachecol
A ver se assim das nuvens tu me contas
Porque és agora chuva, agora sol
A ver se assim das nuvens tu me contas
Porque és agora chuva, agora sol
Porque é que o teu olhar carmim-celeste
Tem do azul toda a melancolia
E o beijo cor da lua, que me deste
À beira da maçã que em mim floria
E o beijo cor da lua, que me deste
À beira da maçã que em mim floria
Porque há lilases brancos no teu sonho
Promessas cor de fogo no sorriso
Talvez sejam as cores que eu componho
Talvez sejam as cores que eu preciso
Talvez sejam as cores que eu componho
Talvez sejam as cores que eu preciso
Nas verdes madrugadas dos amores
Em todas elas em me sinto tua
Talvez o arco-íris tenha as cores
Que eu só consigo ver à luz da lua
Talvez o arco-íris tenha as cores
Que eu só consigo ver à luz da lua

(translation)

I took the rainbow by the ends
And I gave him two loops of a scarf
See if you can tell me from the clouds
Because now you are rain, now sun
See if you can tell me from the clouds
Because now you are rain, now sun
Why your celestial crimson look
Blue has all the melancholy
And the moon-colored kiss you gave me
On the edge of the apple that blossomed in me
And the moon-colored kiss you gave me
On the edge of the apple that blossomed in me
Because there are white lilacs in your dream
Fire-colored promises in the smile
Maybe it's the colors that I compose
Maybe it's the colors that I need
Maybe it's the colors that I compose
Maybe it's the colors that I need
In the green dawns of love
In all of them I feel yours
Maybe the rainbow has the colors
That I can only see in the moonlight
Maybe the rainbow has the colors
That I can only see in the moonlight
