Translation of the song lyrics Enquanto Isso - Marisa Monte, Laurie Anderson

Enquanto Isso (original)

Enquanto isso anoitece em certas regiões
E se pudÃ(c)ssemos ter a velocidade para ver tudo
Assistiríamos tudo
A madrugada perto da noite escurecendo
Ao lado do entardecer
A tarde inteira logo após o almoç o
O meio-dia acontecendo em pleno sol
Seguido da manhã que correu
Desde muito cedo e que só viram
Os que levantaram para trabalhar
No alvorecer que foi surgindo
Meanwhile night falls into regions
And if we could just see faster we could watch everything
Dawn is next to night and getting darker
And all the afternoons are falling, falling
Enquanto isso anoitece em certas regiões
E se pudÃ(c)ssemos ter a velocidade para ver tudo
Assistiríamos tudo
A madrugada perto da noite escurecendo
Ao lado do entardecer
A tarde inteira logo após o almoç o
O meio-dia acontecendo em pleno sol
Seguido da manhã que correu
Desde muito cedo e que só viram
Os que levantaram para trabalhar
No alvorecer que foi surgindo
And then just after lunch noon rose into full sunlight
And then another morning running early
Seen only by those who rose in time to work
In the dawn that was the rising
In the dawn that was the rising

Enquanto Isso (translation)

Meanwhile it gets dark in certain regions
And if we could have the speed to see everything
we would watch everything
The dawn close to night getting dark
Beside the sunset
The whole afternoon just after lunch
The midday happening in full sun
Followed by the morning that ran
From very early on and they only saw
Those who got up to work
At the dawn that was emerging
Meanwhile night falls into regions
And if we could just see faster we could watch everything
Dawn is next to night and getting darker
And all the afternoons are falling, falling
Meanwhile it gets dark in certain regions
And if we could have the speed to see everything
we would watch everything
The dawn close to night getting dark
Beside the sunset
The whole afternoon just after lunch
The midday happening in full sun
Followed by the morning that ran
From very early on and they only saw
Those who got up to work
At the dawn that was emerging
And then just after lunch noon rose into full sunlight
And then another morning running early
Seen only by those who rose in time to work
In the dawn that was the rising
In the dawn that was the rising
