Lyrics of Noite Apressada - Camané

Noite Apressada (original)

Era uma noite apressada
Depois de um dia tão lento
Era uma rosa encarnada
Aberta nesse momento
Era uma boca fechada
Sob a mordaça de um lenço
Era afinal quase nada
E tudo parecia imenso!
No meio do vendaval
Imensa a linha da vida
No seu desenho mortal
Imensa na despedida
A certeza do final
Era uma haste inclinada
Sob o capricho do vento
Era minh´ alma, dobrada
Dentro do teu pensamento
Era uma igreja assaltada
Mas que cheirava a incenso
Era afinal quase nada
E tudo parecia imenso
Imensa, a luz proibida
No centro da catedral
Imensa, a voz diluída
Além do bem e do mal;
Imensa por toda a vida
Na descrença total

(translation)

It was a hurried night
After such a slow day
It was a red rose
open right now
It was a closed mouth
Under the gag of a handkerchief
It was after all almost nothing
And everything seemed immense!
In the middle of the gale
Immense lifeline
In your mortal drawing
Immense at farewell
The certainty of the end
It was a bent rod
Under the whim of the wind
It was my soul, bent
Inside your thought
It was a church robbed
But that smelled of incense
It was after all almost nothing
And everything seemed immense
Immense, forbidden light
In the center of the cathedral
Immense, diluted voice
Beyond good and evil;
Immense for life
In total disbelief
