Translation of the song lyrics Acenda o farol - Tim Maia

Acenda o farol (original)

Pneu furou
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Se alguém ligou
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
Se alguém lhe amou, e foi-se embora (2x)
Você pode se encontrar
Você deve se ajudar
E viver tranquilamente
Sentindo disposto
Pneu furou
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Se alguém ligou
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
Se alguém lhe amou, e foi-se embora (2x)

Acenda o farol (translation)

A tire sighs—deflated, limp, forsaken,
Ignite the lantern’s eye, ignite the lantern’s eye,
If someone’s voice—a distant bell—has wakened,
Ignite the lantern’s eye, ignite the lantern’s eye,
If, madam, midnight’s call has left you shaken,
If love once pressed your hand, then slipped away—twice taken,
You may yet find your shape in dawn’s clear mirror,
You must become your own unsleeping guide,
And dwell where tranquil waters hush all terror,
With strength like sunlight poised on morning’s tide,
A tire sighs—deflated, limp, forsaken,
Ignite the lantern’s eye, ignite the lantern’s eye,
If someone’s voice—a distant bell—has wakened,
Ignite the lantern’s eye, ignite the lantern’s eye,
If, madam, midnight’s call has left you shaken,
If love once pressed your hand, then slipped away—twice taken
