Lyrics of Esquina de rua - Camané

Esquina de rua (original)

Tinhas o corpo cansado
E a cidade era tão fria
Ninguém dormia a teu lado
Ninguém sabia que amado
O teu corpo se acendia
Andavas devagarinho
Pelas ruas de Lisboa
Em busca de algum carinho
Que te fosse pão e vinho
E te desse noite boa
Eras triste se sorrias
E mais nova se choravas
As palavras que dizias
Tinham dores e alegrias
E só ternura deixavas
Por ti não houve ninguém
Para quem te desses nua
Podias ter sido mãe
Podias ter sido mãe
E foste esquina de rua

(translation)

Your body was tired
And the city was so cold
Nobody slept beside you
no one knew who loved
Your body would light up
you walked slowly
Through the streets of Lisbon
In search of some affection
That it were bread and wine for you
And have you had a good night
You were sad if you smiled
And younger if you cried
The words you said
They had pain and joy
And only tenderness you left
for you there was no one
For whom you gave yourself naked
you could have been a mother
you could have been a mother
And you were street corner
