Andrea Doria Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Andrea Doria by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Às vezes parecia que de tanto acreditar
Sometimes it seemed that by believing so much
Em tudo que achávamos tão certo
In everything we thought was so certain
Teríamos o mundo inteiro e até um pouco mais
We would have the whole world and even a little more
Faríamos floresta do deserto
We would make a forest from the desert
E diamantes de pedaços de vidro
And diamonds from pieces of glass
Mas percebo agora
But I realize now
Que o teu sorriso vem diferente
That your smile comes differently
Quase parecendo te ferir
Almost seeming to hurt you
Não queria te ver assim
I didn't want to see you like this
Quero a tua força como era antes
I want your strength as it was before
O que tens é só teu
What you have is only yours
E de nada vale fugir
And it's no use running away
E não sentir mais nada
And not feel anything anymore
Às vezes parecia que era só improvisar
Sometimes it seemed that it was just improvising
E o mundo então seria um livro aberto
And the world then would be an open book
Até chegar o dia em que tentamos ter demais
Until the day came when we tried to have too much
Vendendo fácil o que não tinha preço
Easily selling what had no price
Eu sei é tudo sem sentido
I know it's all meaningless
Quero ter alguém com quem conversar
I want to have someone to talk to
Alguém que depois não use o que eu disse
Someone who later won't use what I said
Contra mim
Against me
Nada mais vai me ferir
Nothing else will hurt me
É que eu já me acostumei
It's just that I've already gotten used
Com a estrada errada que eu segui
To the wrong road I followed
E com a minha própria lei
And with my own law
Tenho o que ficou
I have what remained
E tenho sorte até demais
And I have too much luck
Como sei que tens também
As I know you have too

Did you like this lyrics translation?
naufragio — shipwreck
Naufragio literally translates to "shipwreck". It's a powerful and dramatic word that you don't hear in songs every day.
While not explicitly in the provided lyrics, "Andrea Doria" is the name of a famous Italian ocean liner that sank in 1956. The song's title itself is a direct reference to this historical shipwreck, making the concept of naufragio central to its meaning and a strong, evocative choice for enticing learners.
