Palavra De Mulher Lyrics in English Elba Ramalho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Palavra De Mulher by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
Vou voltar
I'm coming back
Haja o que houver, eu vou voltar
Come what may, I'm coming back
Já te deixei jurando nunca mais olhar pra trás
I already left you swearing never to look back
Palavra de mulher, eu vou voltar
A woman's word, I'm coming back
Posso até
I might even
Sair de bar em bar, em bar, falar besteira
Go from bar to bar, talk sh*t
E me enganar
And fool myself
Com qualquer um deitar
Sleep with anyone
A noite inteira
The whole night
Eu vou te amar
I'm going to love you
Vou chegar
I'm arriving
A qualquer hora ao meu lugar
At any time to my place
E se uma outra pretendia
And if another woman intended
Um dia te roubar
One day to steal you
Dispensa essa vadia
Get rid of that b*tch
Eu vou voltar
I'm coming back
Vou subir
I'm going up
A nossa escada, a escada, a escada, a escada
Our stairs, the stairs, the stairs, the stairs
Meu amor, eu vou partir
My love, I'm going to set off
De novo e sempre, feito viciada
Again and always, like an addict
Eu vou voltar
I'm coming back
Pode ser
It might be
Que a nossa história
That our story
Seja mais uma quimera
Is just another pipe dream
E pode o nosso teto, a lapa, o rio desabar
And our roof, Lapa, the river can collapse
Pode ser
It might be
Que passe o nosso tempo
That our time passes
Como qualquer primavera
Like any spring
Espera
Wait
Me espera
Wait for me
Eu vou voltar
I'm coming back

Did you like this lyrics translation?

quimerachimera / delusion

Quimera translates to "chimera" or "delusion." It's a word rooted in Greek mythology, referring to a mythical beast, but in Portuguese, it often signifies an impossible dream, an illusion, or a fanciful hope.

In the context of the song, the singer uses it to question the reality of her relationship: "Pode ser que a nossa história seja mais uma quimera" (It could be that our story is just another chimera). This adds a layer of poetic doubt and introspection, making it a captivating and less common word to encounter in everyday lyrics.
