Translation of the song lyrics A Companheira - Simone, Zélia Duncan

A Companheira (original)

Eu ia saindo, ela estava ali
No portão da frente
Ia até o bar, ela quis ir junto
«tudo bem», eu disse
Ela ficou super contente
Falava bastante
O que não faltava era assunto
Sempre ao meu lado
Não se afastava um segundo
Uma companheira que ia a fundo
Onde eu ia, ela ia
Onde olhava, ela estava
Quando eu ria, ela ria
Não falhava
Noa dia seguinte ela estava ali
No portão da frente
Ia trabalhar, ela quis ir junto
Avisei que lá o pessoal era muito exigente
Ela nem se abalou
«o que eu não souber eu pergunto»
E lançou na hora mais um argumento profundo
Que iria comigo até o fim do mundo
Me esperava no portão
Me encontrava, dava a mão
Me chateava, sim ou não?
Não
De repente a vida ganhou sentido
Companheira assim nunca tinha tido
O que fica sempre é uma coisa estranha
É companheira que não acompanha
Isso pra mim é felicidade
Achar alguém assim na cidade
Como uma letra pra melodia
Fica do lado, faz companhia
Pensava nisso quando ela ali
No portão da frente
Me viu pensando, quis pensar junto
«pensar é um ato tão particular do indivíduo»
E ela, na hora «particular, é?
duvido»
E como de fato eu não tinha lá muita certeza
Entrei na dela, senti firmeza
Eu pensava até um ponto
Ela entrava sem confronto
Eu fazia o contraponto
E pronto
Pensar assim virou uma arte
Uma canção feita em parceria
Primeira parte, segunda parte
Volta o refrão e acabou a teoria
Pensamos muito por toda a tarde
Eu começava, ela prosseguia
Chegamos mesmo, modesta à parte
A uma pequena filosofia
Foi nessa noite que bem ali
No portão da frente
Eu fiquei triste, ela ficou junto
E a melancolia foi tomando conta da gente
Desintegrados, éramos nada em conjunto
Quem nos olhava só via dois vagabundos
Andando assim meio moribundos
Eu tombava numa esquina
Ela caía por cima
Um coitado e uma dama
Dois na lama
Mas durou pouco, foi só uma noite
E felizmente
Eu sarei logo, ela sarou junto
E a euforia bateu em cheio na gente
Sentíamos ter toda felicidade do mundo
Olhava a cidade e achava a coisa mais linda
E ela achava mais linda ainda
Eu fazia uma poesia
Ela lia, declamava
Qualquer coisa que eu escrevia
Ela amava
Isso também durou só um dia
Chegou a noite acabou a alegria
Voltou a fria realidade
Aquela coisa bem na metade
Mas nunca a metade foi tão inteira
Uma medida que se supera
Metade ela era companheira
Outra metade, era eu que era
Nunca a metade foi tão inteira
Uma medida que se supera
Metade ela era companheira
Outra metade, era eu que era

(translation)

I was leaving, she was there
At the front gate
I went to the bar, she wanted to go together
«okay», I said
she was super happy
she talked a lot
What was not missing was a subject
Always by my side
Didn't move away for a second
A companion who went deep
Where would I go, she would go
Wherever I looked, she was
When I laughed, she laughed
did not fail
The next day she was there
At the front gate
I was going to work, she wanted to go together
I warned that the staff there was very demanding
She didn't even shake
«what I don't know, I ask»
And launched another deep argument at the time
Who would go with me to the end of the world
Waited for me at the gate
found me, held hands
Did it upset me, yes or no?
No
Suddenly, life gained meaning
A companion like this I had never had
What is always a strange thing
She is a companion who does not accompany
This for me is happiness
Finding someone like that in the city
Like a lyric to a melody
Stay by the side, keep company
I was thinking about that when she was there
At the front gate
saw me thinking, wanted to think together
«thinking is such a particular act of the individual»
And she, at the «private time, is it?
I doubt"
And in fact, I wasn't really sure
I entered her, I felt firmness
I thought up to a point
She entered without confrontation
I did the counterpoint
And ready
Thinking like this has become an art
A song made in partnership
First part, second part
The chorus goes back and the theory is over
We thought a lot all afternoon
I started, she continued
We really arrived, modest aside
A small philosophy
It was on that night that right there
At the front gate
I was sad, she stayed together
And the melancholy was taking care of us
Disintegrated, we were nothing together
Whoever looked at us only saw two bums
Walking like this half dying
I fell on a corner
she fell on top
A poor man and a lady
Two in the mud
But it didn't last long, it was just one night
And fortunately
I will heal soon, she healed together
And the euphoria hit completely in us
We felt we had all the happiness in the world
I looked at the city and thought it was the most beautiful thing
And she thought she was even more beautiful
I made a poem
She read, she declaimed
Anything I wrote
she loved
This also only lasted one day
The night has come, the joy is over
The cold reality has returned
That thing right in the middle
But never the half was so whole
A measure that surpasses itself
Half of her was mate
The other half was me who was
Never has half been so whole
A measure that surpasses itself
Half of her was mate
The other half was me who was
