Nosso Estranho Amor Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso , Maria Gadú

Home / Lyrics translation / Caetano Veloso / Nosso Estranho Amor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nosso Estranho Amor by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.

Não quero sugar todo seu leite

I don't want to drain you completely

Nem quero você enfeite do meu ser

Nor do I want you as an ornament to my being

Apenas te peço que respeite

I just ask that you respect

O meu louco querer

My wild desire

Não importa com quem você se deite

It doesn't matter who you sleep with

Que você se deleite seja com quem for

That you find pleasure with whoever it may be

Apenas te peço que aceite

I just ask that you accept

O meu estranho amor

My strange love

Ah! Mainha deixa o ciúme chegar

Ah! My dear, let the jealousy come

Deixa o ciúme passar e sigamos juntos

Let the jealousy pass and let's stay together

Ah! Neguinha deixa eu gostar de você

Ah! Sweetheart, let me love you

Pra lá do meu coração não me diga

Beyond my heart, don't tell me

Nunca não

Don't ever say no

Teu corpo combina com meu jeito

Your body suits my style

Nós dois fomos feitos muito pra nós dois

We two were made very much for each other

Não valem dramáticos efeitos

Dramatic effects don't matter

Mas o que está depois

But what comes after

Não vamos fuçar nossos defeitos

Let's not pick at our flaws

Cravar sobre o peito as unhas do rancor

To dig the nails of resentment into our chests

Lutemos mas só pelo direito

Let's fight, but only for the right

Ao nosso estranho amor

To our strange love

Ah! Mainha, deixa o ciúme chegar

Ah! My dear, let the jealousy come

Deixa o ciúme passar e sigamos juntos

Let the jealousy pass and let's stay together

Ah! Neguinha, deixa eu gostar de você

Ah! Sweetheart, let me love you

Pra lá do meu coração

Beyond my heart

Não me diga nunca não

Don't ever say no

Did you like this lyrics translation?

deleite — delight

Deleite means "delight" or "pleasure." It's a beautiful and somewhat formal word that evokes a sense of deep enjoyment and satisfaction.

In the song, Caetano Veloso sings, "Que você se deleite seja com quem for" (That you delight yourself with whoever it may be). This line is particularly striking because it expresses a profound and unconventional acceptance in love, suggesting that the singer wishes their beloved to find joy and pleasure, even with others, as long as their "estranho amor" (strange love) is accepted. It's a word that encapsulates the song's unique and open-minded perspective on relationships.
