Translation of the song lyrics Ausencia - Cesária Evora

Ausencia (original)

Si asa um tivesse
Pa voa na esse distancia
Si um gazela um fosse
Pa corre sem nem um cansera
Anton ja na bo seio
Um tava ba manche
E nunca mas ausencia
Ta ser nos lema
Ma so na pensamento
Um ta viaja sem medo
Nha liberdade um te’l
E so na nha sonho
Na nha sonho mieforte
Um tem bo protecao
Um te so bo carinho
E bo sorriso
Ai solidao to’me
Sima sol sozim na ceu
So ta brilha ma ta cega
Na se clarao
Sem sabe pa onde lumia
Pa onde bai
Ai solidao e un sina…
If I had wings
To fly this distance
If I was a gazela
To run without getting tired
So in your arms
I would be And never again absence
Would be our motto
But only in thoughts
I travel without fear
I have only freedom
On my own dreams
In my strongest dreams
I have your protection
I have your careing
And your smile
Oh loneliness
Up there the sun alone in the sky
It is bright but blind
In it’s light
Without knowing where to give light
Where to go Loneliness is sina

Ausencia (translation)

If as a had
Peafly in this distance
If one gazelle one were
Pa runs without even a tired
Anton already on the breast
Um tava bamanche
And never is absent
Ta be in the motto
But so in thought
A ta travels without fear
Nha freedom um te'l
E only na dream
Na nha dream mieforte
One has good protection
A lot of affection
And bo smile
Ai solidao to'me
Sima sun alone was born
So ta brights dead blind
If clear
Without knowing where to light
Where do you go
Ai solidao is un sina...
If I had wings
To fly this distance
If I was a gazelle
To run without getting tired
So in your arms
I would be And never again absence
Would be our motto
But only in thoughts
I travel without fear
I have only freedom
On my own dreams
In my strong dreams
I have your protection
I have your caring
And your smile
Oh loneliness
Up there the sun alone in the sky
It is bright but blind
In it's light
Without knowing where to give light
Where to go Loneliness is sina
