Translation of the song lyrics Balada Astral - António Zambujo, Miguel Araujo

Balada Astral (original)

Quando Deus pôs o mundo
E o céu a girar
Bem lá no fundo
Sabia que por aquele andar
Eu te havia de encontrar
Minha mãe no segundo
Em que aceitou dançar
Foi na cantiga
Dos astros a conspirar
E do seu cósmico vagar
Mandaram teu pai
Sorrir para a tua mãe
Para que tu existisses também
Era um dia bonito
E na altura eu também
O infinito
Ainda se lembrava bem
Do seu cósmico refém
E eu que pensava
Que ia só comprar pão
E tu que pensavas
Que ias só passear o cão
A salvo da conspiração
Cruzámos caminhos
Tropeçámos no olhar
E o pão nesse dia ficou por comprar.
Instrumental
Ensarilharam-se as trelas dos cães
Os astros, os signos
Os desígnios, as constelações
As estrelas, os trilhos
E as tralhas dos dois

Balada Astral (translation)

When God put the world
And the sky turns
Deep down
I knew that for that floor
I had to meet you
My mother in the second
In which he accepted to dance
It was in the song
Of the stars to conspire
And your cosmic wandering
sent your father
Smiling at your mother
So that you exist too
It was a beautiful day
And at the time I too
The infinite
I still remembered well
Of your cosmic hostage
And I thought
I was just going to buy bread
And you were thinking
That you were just going to walk the dog
Except from conspiracy
we crossed paths
We stumbled upon the look
And the bread that day remained to be bought.
Instrumental
The dogs' leashes were tangled up
The stars, the signs
The designs, the constellations
The stars, the rails
And the stuff of the two
