Menos A Mim Lyrics in English Fagner
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Menos A Mim by Fagner from Portuguese to English.
Conheço a aurora com seu desatino
I know the dawn with its madness
Conheço o amanhecer com o seu tesouro
I know the sunrise with its treasure
Conheço as andorinhas sem destino
I know the swallows without a destination
Conheço rios sem desaguadouros
I know rivers without outlets
Conheço o medo do princípio ao fim
I know fear from beginning to end
Conheço tudo, conheço tudo
I know everything, I know everything
Menos a mim
Except myself
Conheço o ódio e seus argumentos
I know hatred and its arguments
Conheço o mar e suas ventanias
I know the sea and its gales
Conheço a esperança e seus tormentos
I know hope and its torments
Conheço o inferno e suas alegrias
I know hell and its joys
Conheço a perda do princípio ao fim
I know loss from beginning to end
Conheço tudo, conheço tudo
I know everything, I know everything
Menos a mim
Except myself
Mas depois que chegaste de algum céu
But after you arrived from some heaven
Com teu corpo de sonho e margarida
With your dream-like body and daisy
Pra afinal revelar-me quem sou eu
To finally reveal to me who I am
Posso afirmar enfim
I can finally state
Que não conheço nada desta vida
That I know nothing of this life
Que não conheço nada, nada, nada
That I know nothing, nothing, nothing
Nem mesmo a mim
Not even myself

Did you like this lyrics translation?
desaguadouros — outlets / drainage points
Desaguadouros refers to the outlets or drainage points where rivers flow into larger bodies of water. It's a somewhat rare and evocative word that paints a vivid picture.
In the song, Fagner sings about knowing "rios sem desaguadouros" (rivers without outlets), creating a powerful metaphor for things that are incomplete, unfulfilled, or without a clear destination. This imagery contributes to the song's theme of profound self-discovery and the unknown.
