Daniel Na Cova Dos Leões Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Daniel Na Cova Dos Leões by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Aquele gosto amargo do teu corpo
That bitter taste of your body
Ficou na minha boca por mais tempo
Stayed in my mouth for longer
De amargo, então salgado ficou doce
From bitter, then salty, it became sweet
Assim que o teu cheiro forte e lento
As soon as your strong and slow scent
Fez casa nos meus braços e ainda leve
Made a home in my arms and still light
Forte, cego e tenso, fez saber
Strong, blind and tense, it let me know
Que ainda era muito e muito pouco
That it was still both a lot and very little
Faço nosso o meu segredo mais sincero
I make my most sincere secret ours
E desafio o instinto dissonante
And I challenge the dissonant instinct
A insegurança não me ataca quando erro
Insecurity doesn't attack me when I make a mistake
E o teu momento passa a ser o meu instante
And your moment becomes my instant
E o teu medo de ter medo de ter medo
And your fear of being afraid of being afraid
Não faz da minha força confusão
Doesn't confuse my strength
Teu corpo é meu espelho e em ti navego
Your body is my mirror and in you I sail
E eu sei que a tua correnteza não tem direção
And I know that your current has no direction
Mas, tão certo quanto o erro de ser barco
But, as certain as the mistake of being a boat
A motor e insistir em usar os remos
With a motor and insisting on using the oars
É o mal que a água faz quando se afoga
Is the harm the water does when you drown
E o salva-vidas não está lá porque não vemos
And the lifeguard isn't there because we don't see

Did you like this lyrics translation?
correnteza — current (of water)
Correnteza translates to "current" as in a body of water. It's a less common word in everyday conversation, making it stand out in lyrics.
In the song, the line "eu sei que a tua correnteza não tem direção" (I know your current has no direction) uses correnteza metaphorically to describe a person's unpredictable and perhaps aimless emotional state or path in life. This poetic usage adds depth and intrigue to the song's narrative.
