Deolinda Correa Lyrics in English Deolinda
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deolinda Correa by Deolinda from Portuguese to English.
Anda
Come on
Desliga o cabo
Unplug the cable
Que liga a vida
That connects life
A esse jogo
To that game
Joga comigo
Play with me
Um jogo novo
A new game
Com duas vidas
With two lives
Um contra o outro
One against the other
Já não basta esta luta contra o tempo
This fight against time isn't enough anymore
Este tempo que perdemos a tentar vencer alguém
This time we lose trying to beat someone
E ai fim ao cabo
And after all
Que é dado como um ganho
What's considered a win
Vai-se a ver desperdiçarmos
We end up wasting
Sem nada dar a ninguém
Without giving anything to anyone
Anda
Come on
Faz uma pausa
Take a break
Encosta o carro
Pull over the car
Sai da corrida
Get out of the race
Larga essa guerra
Let go of that war
Que a tua meta
Because your goal
Está deste lado da tua vida
Is on this side of your life
Muda de nível
Change level
Sai do estado invisível
Get out of the invisible state
Põe o modo compatível
Set to compatible mode
Com a minha condição
With my condition
Que a tua vida
Because your life
É real e repetível
Is real and repeatable
Dá-te mais que o impossível
Gives you more than the impossible
Se me deres a tua mão
If you give me your hand
Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Leave home and come with me to the street
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Come, because that life you have
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
No matter how many lives you win
É a tua que mais perde se não vens
It's yours that loses the most if you don't come
Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Leave home and come with me to the street
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Come, because that life you have
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
No matter how many lives you win
É a tua que mais perde se não vens
It's yours that loses the most if you don't come
Anda
Come on
Mostra o que vales
Show what you're worth
Tu nesse jogo
You in that game
Vales tão pouco
You're worth so little
Troca de vício
Trade your addiction
Por outro novo
For another new one
Que o desafio
Because the challenge
É corpo a corpo
Is hand-to-hand
Escolhe a alma
Choose the soul
A estratégia que não falha
The strategy that doesn't fail
O lado forte da batalha
The strong side of the battle
Põe no máximo que der
Give it your maximum
Dou-te a vantagem
I give you the advantage
Tu com tudo
You with everything
E eu sem nada
And I with nothing
Que mesmo assim desarmada
Because even so, unarmed
Vou-te ensinar a perder
I'm going to teach you how to lose
Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Leave home and come with me to the street
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Come, because that life you have
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
No matter how many lives you win
É a tua que mais perde se não vens
It's yours that loses the most if you don't come
Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Leave home and come with me to the street
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Come, because that life you have
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
No matter how many lives you win
É a tua que mais perde se não vens
It's yours that loses the most if you don't come
Did you like this lyrics translation?
desperdiçarmos — to waste (ourselves)
Desperdiçarmos is a fascinating word because it's the first-person plural future subjunctive of 'desperdiçar' (to waste). It implies a collective, potential act of wasting.
In the song, it's used in the line "Vai-se a ver desperdiçarmos / Sem nada dar a ninguém" (We'll end up wasting ourselves / Without giving anything to anyone). This highlights a profound reflection on the futility of a life spent in a competitive 'game' without real connection or contribution, making it a powerful and thought-provoking choice.
