| Talvez não saibas
| maybe you don't know
|
| Mas dormes nos meus dedos
| But you sleep on my fingers
|
| De onde fazem ninhos as andorinhas
| Where the swallows nest from
|
| E crescem frutos ruivos e há segredos
| And red fruits grow and there are secrets
|
| Das mais pequenas coisas que são minhas
| Of the smallest things that are mine
|
| Talvez tu não conheças mas existe
| Maybe you don't know but it exists
|
| Um bosque de folhagem permanente
| A grove of permanent foliage
|
| Aonde não te encontro e fico triste
| Where I can't find you and I'm sad
|
| Mas só de te buscar fico contente
| But just looking for you I'm happy
|
| Ao meu amor quem sabe se tu sabes
| To my love, who knows if you know
|
| Sequer, se em ti existe, ou só demora
| Even if it exists in you, or it just takes
|
| Ou são como as palavras essas aves
| Or are these birds like the words
|
| Que cantam o teu nome e a toda a hora
| Who sing your name and all the time
|
| Ao meu amor quem sabe se tu sabes
| To my love, who knows if you know
|
| Sequer, se em ti existe, ou só demora
| Even if it exists in you, or it just takes
|
| Ou são como as palavras essas aves
| Or are these birds like the words
|
| Que cantam o teu nome e a toda a hora
| Who sing your name and all the time
|
| Talvez não saibas mas digo que te amo
| Maybe you don't know but I say I love you
|
| E construir o mar em nossa casa
| And building the sea in our house
|
| Que é por ti que pergunto e por ti chamo
| Which is why I ask and I call for you
|
| Se a noite estende em mim a sua asa
| If the night extends its wing on me
|
| Talvez não compreendas, mas o vento
| Maybe you don't understand, but the wind
|
| Anda a espalhar em ti os meus recados
| Come on spreading my messages with you
|
| E que há por do sol no pensamento
| And that there is a sunset in thought
|
| Quando os dias são azuis e perfumados
| When the days are blue and perfumed
|
| Oh meu amor quem sabe se tu sabes
| Oh my love, who knows if you know
|
| Sequer, se em ti existe, ou só demora
| Even if it exists in you, or it just takes
|
| Ou são como as palavras essas aves
| Or are these birds like the words
|
| Que cantam o teu nome e a toda a hora
| Who sing your name and all the time
|
| Oh meu amor quem sabe se tu sabes
| Oh my love, who knows if you know
|
| Sequer, se em ti existe, ou só demora
| Even if it exists in you, or it just takes
|
| Ou são como as palavras essas aves
| Or are these birds like the words
|
| Que cantam o teu nome e a toda a hora
| Who sing your name and all the time
|
| Maybe you don’t know it, but you sleep amidst my fingers
| Maybe you don't know it, but you sleep amidst my fingers
|
| The fingers where swallows snuggle their nests
| The fingers where swallows snuggle their nests
|
| And where reddish fruits grow and secrets
| And where reddish fruits grow and secrets
|
| Of the smallest things of my being are hidden
| Of the smallest things of my being are hidden
|
| Maybe you don’t know it, but there is A forest of leaves, always in blossom
| Maybe you don't know it, but there is A forest of leaves, always in blossom
|
| A forest where I can’t find you and become sad
| A forest where I can’t find you and become sad
|
| But to look for you in there once more is enough to rejoice me Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
| But to look for you in there once more is enough to rejoice me Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
|
| That I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
| That I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
|
| Or that I am just like these words and birds
| Or that I am just like these words and birds
|
| That sing about your name all the time
| That sing about your name all the time
|
| Maybe you don’t know it, but I swear I do love you,
| Maybe you don't know it, but I swear I do love you,
|
| And I’ve built our home over the sea
| And I've built our home over the sea
|
| And it’s only you the one I ask for and call on When the night wraps its wings over me Maybe you can’t understand it but the wind has been
| And it’s only you the one I ask for and call on When the night wraps its wings over me Maybe you can’t understand it but the wind has been
|
| Whispering around you all my messages
| Whispering around you all my messages
|
| And that I see an sunset in my thoughts
| And that I see an sunset in my thoughts
|
| When the days are bright blue and perfumed
| When the days are bright blue and perfumed
|
| Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
| Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
|
| That I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
| That I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
|
| Or that I am just like these words and birds
| Or that I am just like these words and birds
|
| That sing about your name all the time | That sing about your name all the time |
