Tempo Contado Lyrics in English Amado Batista
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tempo Contado by Amado Batista from Portuguese to English.
Eu sei que um dia eu nasci
I know that one day I was born
E agora cresci
And now I've grown up
Mas não posso ficar
But I can't stay
Que um dia ao cair da tarde
That one day at dusk
Eu perco a coragem
I lose courage
E posso chorar
And I can cry
O mundo tem muitas surpresas
The world has many surprises
Cheio de incertezas
Full of uncertainties
Posso até te contar
I can even tell you
Exemplos que me deixam triste
Examples that make me sad
Mas eu sei que existe
But I know it exists
Não posso fugir
I can't escape
Sei, minha vida é um espaço
I know, my life is a space
De tempo contado
Of limited time
Que não descobri
That I haven't discovered
Posso estar vivo aqui hoje
I can be alive here today
Amanhã muito longe
Tomorrow very far
Eu posso morrer
I can die
Sei, minha vida é um espaço
I know, my life is a space
De tempo contado
Of limited time
Que não descobri
That I haven't discovered
Posso estar vivo aqui hoje
I can be alive here today
Amanhã muito longe
Tomorrow very far
Eu posso morrer
I can die
Por isso quando chega a tardinha
That's why when evening comes
Na beira da linha
At the end of the line
Eu torno a pensar
I think again
Que a vida pode ser interna
That life can be internal
Mas nunca eterna
But never eternal
E me deixo no ar
And I leave myself hanging
E saber que não pedi pra nascer
And to know that I didn't ask to be born
E nem pra morrer
And not even to die
Mas isso é normal
But this is normal
Normal para quem não morreu
Normal for those who didn't die
E não entendeu
And didn't understand
O que eu sofri
What I suffered
Sei, minha vida é um espaço
I know, my life is a space
De tempo contado
Of limited time
Que não descobri
That I haven't discovered
Posso estar vivo aqui hoje
I can be alive here today
Amanhã muito longe
Tomorrow very far
Eu posso morrer
I can die
Sei, minha vida é um espaço
I know, my life is a space
De tempo contado
Of limited time
Que não descobri
That I haven't discovered
Posso estar vivo aqui hoje
I can be alive here today
Amanhã muito longe
Tomorrow very far
Eu posso morrer
I can die

Did you like this lyrics translation?
incertezas — uncertainties
Incertezas translates to "uncertainties" and is a compelling word that captures the essence of the song's reflective and somewhat melancholic tone.
Amado Batista sings, "O mundo tem muitas surpresas, Cheio de incertezas" (The world has many surprises, Full of uncertainties). This word perfectly encapsulates the theme of life's unpredictable nature and the singer's contemplation of mortality, making it both thought-provoking and memorable.
