Ouvi Dizer Que Me Esqueceste Lyrics in English Ana Moura
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ouvi Dizer Que Me Esqueceste by Ana Moura from Portuguese to English.
A sombra ensombra-me os dias
The shadow darkens my days
Num divagar lento
In a slow wander
As mãos dobradas vazias
The folded empty hands
Por sobre o próprio lamento
Over my own lament
Que dizer de nós amor?
What to say about us, love?
Sentam-se as horas
The hours sit
Rodopiam os segundos
The seconds spin
Na perseguição de nós
In the pursuit of us
Como abismo escuro e fundo
Like a dark and deep abyss
Que atrai-me assim o ser e a voz
That thus attracts my being and voice
Não é mais do que um perdido
It's nothing more than a lost thing
Lamento atroz
Atrocious lament
Perdidos olhos agueiam
Lost eyes water
Olham sem ver, cegos
They look without seeing, blind
Redondas frases anseiam
Round phrases yearn
Fazer-se voz eu nego
I deny them becoming voice
Que dizer de nós amor?
What to say about us, love?
Tudo se oculta
Everything hides
Tudo é estreito e estreita em nós
Everything is narrow and narrows in us
A margem da culpa
The margin of guilt
Como a sombra a que me dei
Like the shadow I gave myself to
Que atrai-me assim o ser e a voz
That thus attracts my being and voice
Não é mais do que um pedido
It's nothing more than a plea
Lamento atroz
Atrocious lament

Rodopiam — Spin / Twirl
Rodopiam comes from the verb rodopiar, meaning to spin or twirl. It's a vivid and dynamic word that evokes a sense of movement and disorientation.
In the song, it's used to describe how seconds "rodopiam" (spin) in the pursuit of love, creating a powerful image of time passing quickly and perhaps chaotically in the face of intense emotion. This poetic usage makes it stand out.
